Will Writing in Richmond

Richmond is one of the most sought-after parts of London, with property prices to match. Between the Royal Park, the riverside, and excellent transport links into central London, it is easy to see why so many families choose to put down roots here — and why estate planning matters so much once you have done so.

With Richmond property values as high as they are, many clients I meet are dealing with an estate that could be liable for inheritance tax, even if they do not think of themselves as especially wealthy. A well-structured will, sometimes combined with trust planning, can make a real difference to how much of your estate is passed on to your family rather than lost in tax. I talk through these options clearly, without the jargon that so often makes this subject feel intimidating.

Protecting Family Wealth Across Generations

For many Richmond families, the priority is making sure that the value built up in the family home is protected and passed on sensibly — perhaps to children from a current marriage, perhaps alongside stepchildren from a previous relationship, or perhaps held in trust until grandchildren reach a suitable age. These are exactly the kinds of situations a general DIY will form cannot handle safely, which is why professional drafting matters.

I also help Richmond clients arrange Lasting Powers of Attorney, both for property and financial affairs and for health and welfare. Given the value tied up in property here, an LPA is particularly important — it ensures that if you were ever unable to manage your affairs, someone you trust could continue to manage your home and finances without delay or a costly court application.

Visiting You Across Richmond

I offer home visits throughout Richmond seven days a week, at times that suit your schedule, whether that is a weekday evening or a weekend morning. I also regularly visit clients in nearby Twickenham, Kingston, and Teddington, so please do pass my details on to anyone nearby who might also benefit.

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

A single will starts from £150 and a mirror will for couples from £250. Lasting Powers of Attorney start from £75 as an add-on to a will. All prices include VAT with nothing hidden — I will confirm the full cost before we begin.

As a member of the Society of Will Writers, I ensure every Richmond client receives a will, LPA, or trust drafted to a high professional standard, giving you complete confidence that your estate will be handled exactly as you intend.
