We offer a full will writing service tailored to your individual circumstances. This includes straightforward wills, mirror wills for couples, and more complex arrangements where needed, such as trusts or provisions for children.

We take the time to understand your situation and ensure your wishes are clearly set out, whether that’s protecting your home, providing for family members, or planning for the future.

Our service includes guidance throughout the process, drafting your will, and making sure it is correctly signed so it is legally valid.

Making a will with us is straightforward and designed to be as simple and stress-free as possible.

We start with an initial conversation, either in person or online, where we talk through your circumstances, your wishes, and any questions you may have. From there, we prepare a draft will for you to review in your own time.

Once you’re happy, we guide you through the signing process to make sure everything is completed correctly and your will is legally valid.

Both a will and a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) play different but equally important roles.

A will sets out what happens to your estate after you die, ensuring your wishes are followed and your loved ones are provided for.

An LPA, on the other hand, allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose the ability to do so during your lifetime, whether that’s for finances or health and welfare.

Many people choose to have both in place so they are protected both during their lifetime and after death.

A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so yourself.

There are two types of LPA: one for property and financial affairs, and one for health and welfare. You can choose to have one or both, depending on your circumstances.

Putting an LPA in place ensures that the right people can step in and act in your best interests if needed, giving you and your family peace of mind.

Making a will or LPA with us is straightforward and designed to be as simple and supportive as possible.

The timescale for setting up a will or Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) can vary slightly depending on your circumstances.

In most cases, a will can be prepared and ready for signing within a few days once we have your instructions.

LPAs take longer, as they must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian before they can be used. This process is handled after signing and can take several weeks.

We’ll guide you through each step and keep things moving as smoothly as possible.

Not every estate requires probate. Whether probate is needed depends on the value of the estate, how assets were owned and the requirements of the organisations holding those assets. If you're unsure whether probate is required, I can help you understand the process and identify the information you may need.

Probate is the legal process of dealing with someone's estate after they die. It is often required where property, savings or investments are held solely in the deceased's name, although not every estate will require a Grant of Probate.

Every estate is different, so timescales can vary. Factors such as the complexity of the estate, the assets involved and whether inheritance tax forms need to be completed can all affect how long the process takes.
