Why It Matters
Without a will, the law decides for you
If you die without a valid will, the intestacy rules determine who inherits your estate, regardless of your relationships, promises, or intentions. Unmarried partners receive nothing. Stepchildren are excluded entirely. Assets may pass to relatives you have not spoken to in years.
A Lasting Power of Attorney is equally critical. Without one, if you lose mental capacity through illness, injury, or age, your family cannot access your bank accounts, sell your property, or make decisions about your medical care without applying to the Court of Protection, a process that is expensive, slow, and stressful at the worst possible time.
Our Services
What we prepare for you
Every document is drafted to meet the formal legal requirements, tailored to your circumstances, and delivered at a fixed fee with no hidden charges.
01
Single & Mirror Wills
Professionally drafted wills for individuals and couples, tailored to your estate and family circumstances.
​
A valid will is the only way to ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes. Without one, the intestacy rules under the Administration of Estates Act 1925 determine who inherits, and the outcome may not reflect your intentions. We draft single wills for individuals and mirror wills for couples, covering appointment of executors, specific gifts and legacies, residuary estate distribution, guardianship of minor children, and funeral wishes. Every will is drafted to comply with the formal requirements of Section 9 of the Wills Act 1837 and structured to minimise the risk of challenge or ambiguity.
02
Testamentary Trusts & Property Protection
Trust provisions within your will to protect assets for beneficiaries, including life interest and discretionary trusts.
​
Where your estate includes property, business assets, or where beneficiaries have vulnerabilities, such as young children, individuals receiving means-tested benefits, or a surviving spouse you wish to protect while preserving capital for your children, a testamentary trust written into your will can provide that protection. We draft life interest trusts, discretionary trusts, and property protection trusts as clauses within your will, ensuring the trust provisions are clearly defined and the trustees' powers are properly set out. This is particularly important for couples in second marriages or blended families where both sides need protecting.
03
Property & Financial Affairs LPA
Appoint trusted attorneys to manage your finances, property, and business interests if you lose capacity.
​
A Property and Financial Affairs Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint one or more attorneys to make decisions about your bank accounts, savings, investments, property, tax affairs, and business interests. Unlike a general power of attorney, an LPA under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 remains valid if you lose mental capacity — which is precisely when you need it most. We prepare the LPA documentation, advise on the choice and structure of attorneys (including whether they should act jointly, jointly and severally, or with specific restrictions), guide you through certificate provider requirements, and ensure the application is ready for registration with the Office of the Public Guardian.
04
Health & Welfare LPA
Appoint attorneys to make decisions about your medical treatment, care, and daily life if you cannot decide for yourself.
​
A Health and Welfare LPA authorises your chosen attorneys to make decisions about your medical treatment, care arrangements, where you live, diet, daily routine, and, if you choose to grant this authority, whether to consent to or refuse life-sustaining treatment. This type of LPA can only be used once you have lost the capacity to make these decisions yourself. Without one, decisions about your care may fall to medical professionals or local authorities without input from the people who know you best. We prepare the full documentation, explain the implications of each decision within the form, and ensure the application meets the Office of the Public Guardian's requirements for registration.
05
Executor & Attorney Guidance
Practical guidance for executors administering an estate or attorneys acting under an LPA.
​
Being appointed as an executor or an attorney carries significant legal responsibilities. Executors must administer the estate in accordance with the will, manage assets, settle liabilities, and distribute to beneficiaries, and they are personally liable for errors. Attorneys acting under an LPA must follow the principles of the Mental Capacity Act 2005, act in the donor's best interests, and keep proper records. We provide structured guidance to executors and attorneys on their duties, powers, and limitations, helping them understand their obligations before they begin acting. This is a support and preparation service, we do not apply for probate or administer estates, as these are reserved legal activities.
06
Will Reviews & Updates
Review your existing will to check it still reflects your wishes following changes in circumstances.
​
Life changes, marriage, divorce, the birth of children or grandchildren, property purchases, changes in financial position, or the death of a named executor or beneficiary, can all affect whether your will still achieves what you intended. A will made before marriage is automatically revoked unless it was made in contemplation of that marriage. A will that names a former spouse may need updating following divorce. We review your existing will against your current circumstances, identify any provisions that may no longer operate as intended, and advise on whether a new will or a codicil is the appropriate next step.
