Burnham-on-Sea, where retirement arrives without an LPA, far too often.

Burnham-on-Sea is a town where a very large proportion of residents are in their 70s and 80s, and where many of them arrived in the last ten to twenty years, having retired from elsewhere. The combination of an unusually old age profile, a high proportion of recently arrived retired residents, and significant liquid assets from city property sales makes the LPA need here genuinely acute.

We visit clients at home throughout Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge, and across the surrounding Somerset coast communities, Berrow and Brean to the north, East Huntspill, Pawlett and Puriton to the east, and Brent Knoll, Lympsham and Mark across the Levels. There is no extra charge for home visits to any location within our service area, and evening and weekend appointments are available.

We also offer online appointments via Microsoft Teams, which is particularly useful for adult children who live outside Somerset and want to be involved in arranging their parent's LPA from a distance. We visit the parent at home in Burnham, the family member joins via Teams. Both parties are accommodated in a single appointment.

Why Burnham residents choose Futura Planning

Full service, start to OPG registration. We prepare all documents, advise on attorney selection and signing requirements, and submit directly to the Office of the Public Guardian on your behalf. You deal with us throughout, not the OPG.

Home visits anywhere in Burnham and the coast. Whether you're in the town, in Berrow, in Highbridge, or in a Levels village like Brent Knoll or Lympsham, we come to you at the same fixed price. No travel, no inconvenience, no extra charge.

We combine LPAs and Wills in one visit. Most Burnham LPA clients also need a Will review. We handle both in a single home appointment, the most efficient and comprehensive approach for recently retired residents who need their affairs updated in full.

Society of Willwriters members. Full, qualified and regulated. Call 01934 442030 for a free, no-obligation conversation.

Total cost example: both LPAs together, Futura Planning fee from £449 + OPG registration £92 × 2 = from £633 total for a fully registered pair of LPAs. Everything fixed and quoted upfront. If you receive certain benefits or are on a lower income, you may qualify for a reduced OPG fee, ask us when you get in touch.

Burnham residents, recently retired, recently arrived

You moved to Burnham from Bristol, London or elsewhere in the last few years. You retired around the same time. You may have sold a valuable city property and bought your Burnham bungalow or seafront home, with the remaining proceeds in savings.

You almost certainly do not have an LPA in place that covers your current situation. Any LPA written before your move references your old address, your old property, your pre-retirement financial picture. It needs reviewing, or writing from scratch. A home visit from us can cover both an LPA and a Will review in a single 90-minute appointment.

Adult children arranging an LPA for a Burnham parent

Your parent lives in Burnham-on-Sea, perhaps alone, perhaps in a bungalow near the beach, perhaps in Berrow or Highbridge. They are in their 70s or 80s. There has been a health concern, or you have simply decided that it is time to get their affairs in order before the window closes.

We visit your parent at their home in Burnham or the surrounding area. They don't need to travel anywhere. If you are coordinating from Bristol, London or elsewhere, you can join the appointment via Microsoft Teams while we visit in person. Please call us on 01934 442030 if capacity is a concern, we will discuss the situation carefully before booking.

Once it's registered, it's worth knowing exactly what your role as attorney does and doesn't cover, our guide sets it out clearly.
