Weston's local LPA specialists, on your doorstep and in your home.

Futura Planning is based in Churchill, just off the A38 between Weston-super-Mare and Axbridge, minutes from the town by car. When we visit you in Worle, Uphill, Kewstoke or Hutton, it's a short local journey, not a long trek from Bristol or Bath. That means we can arrange appointments quickly, visit at short notice when there's urgency, and genuinely understand the area we serve.

Weston's seafront has one of North Somerset's highest concentrations of older residents living independently, retirement apartments from Knightstone Road to Beach Road, bungalows in Kewstoke, and established residential streets in Uphill. These are exactly the households where both types of LPA are most needed, and where the absence of an LPA most commonly creates practical crises for families.

We visit clients across all three Weston postcodes (BS22, BS23 and BS24), as well as the surrounding villages, Hutton, Locking, Bleadon, Banwell, Congresbury, Yatton, Winscombe, and Clevedon. We also offer online appointments via Microsoft Teams, which is particularly popular with adult children in Bristol or further afield who are coordinating an LPA for a Weston parent.

Why Weston residents choose Futura Planning

We're genuinely local. Based in Churchill, minutes away. When we visit you in Worle, Kewstoke, Uphill or Hutton, it's a short drive, not an expedition. We can arrange home visits quickly, including when there's urgency around a health situation.

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

Society of Willwriters members. Full, qualified members of the Society of Willwriters, the professional body for LPA and will writing practitioners. Your guarantee of a regulated, ethical and accountable service.

Patient and unhurried. Given Weston's older population, many of our appointments here involve residents who want time to think things through. We always take that time. Call 01934 442030, the first conversation is always free.

Total 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 clear upfront. If you receive certain benefits or are on a low income, you may qualify for a reduced OPG fee, mention this when you enquire.

Weston residents planning ahead for themselves

You're thinking about what would happen if you lost capacity, through illness, accident or dementia. You may own a property in Worle, a bungalow in Hutton, a house in Uphill, or a seafront flat. You want the right people legally empowered to manage it if the time comes.

You don't have to be elderly to need an LPA. With Weston's significant retirement community, many of our clients are in their 60s and 70s, active and healthy, but sensibly planning ahead. We also regularly help younger families who simply want to be organised.

Setting up both LPAs together in one appointment is the most efficient approach. We visit you at home anywhere across Weston and North Somerset, or meet via Teams.

Adult children arranging an LPA for a Weston parent

A parent living on the Weston seafront, in a Kewstoke retirement apartment, or in a village nearby has had a health scare or a diagnosis. You want to get their LPA in place before it's too late, and you may be researching this from Bristol or further afield.

This is the most common LPA enquiry we receive from Weston. As a local firm, we can visit your parent at home quickly and without fuss. We always speak directly with the person making the LPA, take time to explain everything at their pace, and never rush.

Once it's registered, our guide to acting for a parent explains exactly what your role as attorney allows, and where the limits are.

If you're worried that capacity may already be an issue, please mention it when you call. We'll discuss the situation carefully and advise honestly before booking.
