Wills and Trusts
Preparing Your Will Doesn’t Need to Be a Chore
At Set in Stone Wills and LPAs Ltd, we believe that preparing your Will should be a simple, reassuring process — not something to put off or worry about. Think of it as a sensible form of insurance: a vital part of your financial planning that protects your loved ones and ensures your wishes are respected.
We tailor every Will to suit your personal circumstances and goals. Whether you want to make straightforward provisions or need more detailed planning involving property, inheritance, or trusts, we’ll provide clear, honest advice that’s easy to understand.

Why Having a Will Matters
A professionally written Will gives you control over what happens to your estate after you pass away. Without one, the law decides who inherits — and it might not be who you would have chosen.
Creating a Will allows you to:
- Decide who receives your property, savings, and possessions
- Appoint guardians for your children
- Reduce the risk of family disputes
- Make gifts or charitable donations
- Plan for inheritance tax in a sensible way
We’ll guide you through every step, keeping things straightforward and stress-free.
Trusts for Extra Protection
For many people, setting up a Trust can provide an extra layer of protection and flexibility. A Trust can help you:
- Protect your home and assets for future generations
- Provide financial stability for children or vulnerable family members
- Manage how and when beneficiaries receive their inheritance
- Minimise inheritance tax and avoid unnecessary legal complications
Our advice is always practical and honest — we’ll explain when a Trust is suitable and when it isn’t. You can rest assured that we’ll never recommend something you don’t need.
