We think important conversations should take place where you feel most comfortable.

Whether you're making a Will, discussing Probate, or planning for the future, these aren't always conversations people look forward to having. That's why we offer home visits, giving you the opportunity to talk things through in familiar surroundings, without the potential stress of travelling to an office.

For many of our clients, being at home means:

✓ Feeling more relaxed and comfortable
✓ Having privacy to discuss personal matters
✓ No time spent travelling or arranging transport
✓ Being able to involve family members more easily if needed

Of course, there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Some people prefer to meet online, others at home, and some elsewhere entirely.

The important thing is that you feel comfortable and supported throughout the process. We'll always work around what suits you best.

If you'd like to discuss your options, we're always happy to help.

It’s easy to assume everything will simply 'go to the right people' if you don't have a will in place.

But without one, the law decides what happens to your estate, not you.

That can mean:
Unmarried partners receiving nothing
Family disputes
Delays and additional stress
Children inheriting money earlier than intended
Loved ones facing unnecessary legal complications

For business owners, landowners and families with more complex circumstances, the risks can be even greater.

Making a will isn’t about expecting the worst, it’s about making things easier for the people you care about most.

We offer a friendly, personal service in your home (or wherever you're most comfortable) - it doesn't take long and it doesn't cost the earth.

Don't put it off any longer: give us a call.

Another great day getting the whole team together for a quick photoshoot!📸

We don't get to do it often, so spending some time together, getting out and about and even including some unexpected visitors🐴, is such a great energy boost.

Big thanks to our photographer Ness Sherry for keeping us in line, for providing a fabulous backdrop as always, and to all the team for getting involved! We look forward to sharing the new photos soon!

When the really scary stuff is sorted (like sorting out your will, or putting a Deputyship in place), things like holding a massive Boa Constrictor just don't seem so bad!

Here's Matt, proving exactly that this weekend, at his daughter Edith's school - the Victoria Education Centre.

Well done Matt! You faced your fear and given us a million snake-related puns for the forseeable...

Probate is a process that arrives at a time when families are grieving, juggling decisions and trying to make sense of what comes next.

We often meet people who worry they’re “getting it wrong” or “missing something important.” That’s completely natural. Probate can be complex, especially if the estate involves property, investments, or long-term care arrangements.

Our role is to simplify it. To break down each step. And to make sure you feel supported, not buried under legal forms.

You don’t have to face this alone. We're here to help.

Reflecting on the huge success of our 'Wine, Conversation & Future Planning' event at the fabulous Hinton Workspace - we've had incredible feedback from everyone who attended!

We don't like doing things by halves so this was no ordinary drinks & nibbles event... we served only the finest bubbles and food, which went down a storm!

A big thank you to James Montgomery, Lisa Lane and Matt Billingsley for providing insightful talks on how to protect your wealth for future generations - it may not sound like the most exciting of subjects, but it's so very important and none of us want to think about our hard-earned wealth going to the tax man!

And a huge thank you to Alice Plunkett and all of our guests for attending, it was so great to meet you all and we're so pleased you found it useful.

Now, this one was an 'invitation only' event, so if you want to be on the next one, make sure you sign up to our mailing list here: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=SVV4fg&g=SGhi4Y

Our next event is already being planned, with the working title of 'Get Your Sh*t Together' evening... if that sounds up your street, sign up to our mailing list to get all the latest details!

Horse lover, cake-maker extraordinaire and legal assistant to Matt Billingsley - meet Alice!
Alice plays an important role in supporting both our clients and the wider team - bringing strong organisation, attention to detail and a calm, reliable approach to her work.

Outside of the office, Alice has a lifelong passion for working with horses, something that has taken her across the world and continues to be a big part of her daily life. Early mornings, time outdoors and a hands-on routine have helped shape the discipline and work ethic she brings into her role.

She also runs her own cake-making business, combining creativity with precision - skills that translate surprisingly well into legal work, where care and accuracy matter (and is much appreciated during any staff birthdays!)

Based in Dorset, Alice enjoys making the most of the countryside and coast with her husband and their two dogs, and brings that same positive, grounded energy into the office each day.
