About Hartley & Crowe

Hartley & Crowe is a boutique private-client practice based in Bath, handling complex estates, trust structures and inheritance-tax planning for families across the South West since 2003.

Led by Eleanor Hartley, a full member of STEP, the practice takes an unhurried, considered approach. We believe good estate planning starts with a proper conversation about your family and your wishes — not a form. Every plan is tailored, every fee is fixed and agreed in advance, and there is no obligation after an initial consultation.

We are equally at home with a straightforward will and with the more demanding work of cross-generational trusts, business succession and inheritance-tax mitigation.

Eleanor guided us through a complicated estate with real patience and care. We never felt rushed, and everything was explained in plain English.

Margaret R. · March 2026

Exceptional from start to finish. The fixed fee meant no surprises, and our wills and LPAs were completed within a fortnight.

David & Susan P. · February 2026

Very professional and thorough on the inheritance-tax side. Would have liked slightly faster email replies, but the advice was first rate.
