A single unhurried conversation is enough for most households. We draft and check everything once we leave.
Describe your family, property and priorities in your own words. Translating that into valid documents is our responsibility.
Life moves on — marriages, grandchildren, new homes. We revise your documents simply whenever circumstances change.
What we write
Six core services cover the vast majority of families. If you are unsure where to begin, that is what the first conversation is for.
A carefully drafted will setting out who inherits what and who manages your estate. Prepared with you, reviewed thoroughly, and explained line by line.
Matching wills for couples who want aligned arrangements. Both completed during one home appointment, at the same table, with the same calm pace.
Nominate trusted people to support financial or health decisions should you ever be unable to make them yourself. A practical gift to those who care for you.
Where a straightforward trust protects property or supports a vulnerable beneficiary, we outline the choices clearly and recommend only what genuinely helps.
Inherited a property? Welcomed a new family member? We review your current will, advise honestly on whether it still fits, and update it when needed.
Signed wills stored safely off-site, with a reference card for your wallet so relatives always know where the originals are kept.
What happens when we visit
We visit at a time that suits you — morning, afternoon or evening. You describe your family, assets and intentions naturally. Clients often tell us it felt far less daunting than they imagined.
Roughly one hourYour instructions become properly worded drafts back at our desk. We check every detail, then post copies for you to read in your own time. Questions are welcome until everything makes sense.
Typically within five working daysWe return so you can sign correctly with two independent witnesses, as required by law. Afterwards, the kettle goes on — and a task postponed for years is finally complete.
Lasting reassuranceClear fixed fees
No clock-watching, no hidden extras. Each price below covers your home visit, our drafting time, and unlimited questions throughout.
Home visits across Winchester, Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading are included. That is simply how we prefer to work.
Asked gently, answered clearly
There are no awkward queries when it comes to protecting your family. These are the topics we discuss most often, usually over a second cup of tea.
Not at all. Bring rough ideas and open questions — clarifying your thinking is a large part of what the visit is for. We guide you through the options without pressure.
In our experience, no. Appointments are warm and practical, focused on the people you care about. Most households leave feeling lighter rather than burdened.
We are specialist will writers, not a solicitors' practice, and we belong to a recognised professional body with full professional indemnity cover. If your circumstances require a solicitor, we say so directly and help you find one.
That puts you ahead of many. We study it with you, explain whether it still reflects your life today, and recommend updates only where they are genuinely worthwhile.
Kind words
We kept putting it off for nearly a decade. One Thursday afternoon at our dining table and it was sorted — we walked away wondering why we had waited so long.
I almost cancelled twice because I assumed it would be gloomy. Instead it was a straightforward chat in my own kitchen, every clause explained without jargon, signed within ten days.
They visited after dinner to arrange lasting powers of attorney for my father. Patient, unhurried, and never made us feel silly for asking the same thing twice. Could not recommend them more warmly.
