Services
We provide clear, practical legal advice on Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs), and probate, helping families, couples, professionals, and individuals plan for the future with confidence.
Wills
Whether you’re a parent, homeowner, or professional, a properly drafted Will ensures your loved ones are protected and your wishes are respected.
Make a Will – Protect What Matters Most
Making a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are carried out. Without a Will in place, the law decides what happens to your estate — which may not reflect your intentions.
For parents, a Will is particularly important as it allows you to record guardianship wishes and provide clarity for those caring for your children. However, making a Will is essential for anyone who wants certainty over what happens to their estate, regardless of age or circumstances.
We offer a straightforward, personal Will-writing service, guiding you clearly through the process and explaining everything in plain English.
A professionally prepared Will can help:
-
Ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes
-
Protect your family and loved ones
-
Record guardianship arrangements for children
-
Reduce the risk of uncertainty or disputes in the future

Lasting Powers of Attorney
Plan Ahead With Confidence
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to choose who can make decisions on your behalf if you are ever unable to do so yourself. Without an LPA in place, your loved ones may face delays, expense and uncertainty when important decisions need to be made.
LPAs are suitable for people of all ages and are increasingly chosen by working professionals and parents.
We precise a clear, supportive service to help you put the right LPAs in place, ensuring your wishes are respected and your affairs are managed by people you trust.
There are two types of Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA):
-
Property & Financial Affairs (covering finances, property and bills)
-
Health & Welfare (covering medical treatment, care and living arrangements)
We will guide you through both options and help you decide what is right for your circumstances.
