Local knowledge, genuine relevance

Serving Bath and its communities, properly

We're not a national call centre. We know Bath's neighbourhoods, its families, and the specific circumstances that matter here.

Bath is one of England's most beautiful and desirable cities, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose Georgian crescents, stone terraces, and riverside gardens make it genuinely special. It's also a city where property values and family circumstances make estate planning particularly important.

Whether you own a Victorian terrace in Larkhall, a stone-built villa in Widcombe, a Georgian townhouse near Lansdown Crescent, or a family home in Bathampton village, the value of your estate and the importance of protecting it for your children are very real considerations. Futura Planning advisers come to you at home, across the whole of Bath and North East Somerset, so there's no need to park in the city centre or sit in a solicitor's waiting room.

We also serve the communities around Bath that often get overlooked: Keynsham families, Saltford residents, those in the Chew Valley villages, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, and the rural parishes throughout BANES. Estate planning isn't just for city dwellers. Every family with a home, savings, or children should have their wishes properly recorded.

Will writing and estate planning across Bath's neighbourhoods

Wherever you call home in Bath, we can visit you. Here's a little about the communities we serve most regularly.

Larkhall & Fairfield Park (BA1 · North)One of Bath's most sought-after neighbourhoods, village-like with independent shops, Alice Park, and strong community roots. Families in Larkhall's Edwardian terraces and semis often have children and growing estates to protect.
Lansdown (BA1 · North)Elegant Georgian townhouses, stunning views over the city, and proximity to Bath Racecourse and Lansdown Golf Club. Properties here carry significant value, making proper estate planning particularly worthwhile.
Widcombe & Bear Flat (BA2 · South)From the Grade I listed terraces of Widcombe Crescent to the Edwardian streets around Alexandra Park, this is a neighbourhood of character. The canal towpath and schools like Widcombe Junior make it popular with families.
Combe Down & Odd Down (BA2 · South)Stone-built villages on Bath's southern edge, with a strong community feel and easy access to the A367. Many residents here have lived in their properties for decades and want their affairs properly in order.
Bathampton & Batheaston (BA1/BA2 · Surrounding villages)Picturesque stone villages straddling the river east of Bath, with a mix of cottages, family homes and modern bungalows. Village residents often feel their options are limited; we come directly to you.
Keynsham & Saltford (BS31 · East BANES)Popular commuter villages between Bath and Bristol, with strong family communities. If you're planning around a family home in Keynsham or a riverside property in Saltford, we cover this area fully.

Client reviews

What our Bath clients say

We own a property in Larkhall and had been putting off our Wills for years. The Futura Planning adviser came to our home on a Saturday morning, took us through everything clearly, and we had our documents within the week. Brilliant service.
James & Helen R., Larkhall, Bath BA1
As an older resident living alone in Widcombe, I was concerned about both my Will and putting a Power of Attorney in place. The consultant was patient, thorough, and made the whole thing feel manageable. I can't recommend Futura Planning highly enough.
Dorothy M., Widcombe, Bath BA2
We have a family home in Keynsham and were looking for a local estate planner who really understood property trust Wills. Futura Planning explained everything, visited us at home, and the whole process was far simpler than we expected.
Paul & Claire T., Keynsham, BANES BS31

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

A Will records what should happen to your assets after your death. Estate planning is broader. It includes your Will, but also covers Lasting Powers of Attorney, inheritance tax planning, and structuring assets (such as property) to protect them during your lifetime. Many Bath clients benefit from considering both together.
If you're a Bath resident searching for these services, you'll find us whether you search for either term. If you're unsure which service you need, our free initial consultation will clarify exactly what's right for your situation, at no obligation.
Yes. We cover the full city of Bath (BA1 and BA2), as well as Keynsham, Saltford, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, the Chew Valley, Peasedown St John, and all rural villages within Bath & North East Somerset, at no extra charge for the visit.
It's an important consideration. Where property makes up the bulk of an estate, we often recommend discussing Property Trust Wills and potential inheritance tax thresholds. We offer an estate planning consultation free of charge alongside any Will instruction.
Most clients receive their completed Will within 7–10 working days of their home appointment. We can accommodate urgent turnaround in exceptional circumstances, just let us know when you enquire.
Professional will writers typically charge significantly less than solicitors for straightforward Wills and LPAs, with fixed fees rather than hourly rates. We also visit you at home, which most solicitors do not. For complex contested estates or ongoing legal disputes, a solicitor remains the right choice, and we'll tell you honestly if that's the case for you.

Also thinking about a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Most Bath clients who write a Will also benefit from putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, it's the most comprehensive way to protect both your estate and your personal wishes, done in a single home visit. We offer both types of LPA (Property & Financial Affairs, and Health & Welfare), including the full OPG submission and registration service. A fully registered pair of LPAs starts from £633 all in.

LPA Service Bath

Your family deserves to be protected.

More than half of adults in the UK don't have a valid Will. Getting yours in place is one of the most important things you can do, and with Futura Planning, it's straightforward, affordable, and done from your own home in Bath.
