Lasting Power of Attorney Serving Ubley Near St Bartholomew's Church

If you are looking into power of attorney near St Bartholomew's Church in Ubley, you probably want a friendly, professional adviser who will explain things clearly. You may be putting plans in place for the first time, or reviewing arrangements you already have. Either way, it helps to know exactly who you would be speaking to.

We are a family-owned estate planning company based in Churchill, near Winscombe, and we have been helping people since 2023. Our fully managed Lasting Power of Attorney service sits alongside our Will Writing and wider Estate Planning work. We take the time to understand your circumstances first, then describe the options available to you. The decision is always yours.

St Bartholomew's Church is a small medieval church at the heart of Ubley, and it is Grade I listed. It dates back to the 13th century, with 15th-century aisles and a tower topped by a stone spire. Inside are a stone font that may be 13th-century, a pulpit made from 17th-century carved panelling, and a chained copy of Erasmus's Paraphrases from 1552. Books like this were chained so they stayed safe for everyone who relied on them. A Lasting Power of Attorney does a similar job for your own affairs: it puts people you trust in charge, so your money, home and care stay in safe hands if you ever cannot make decisions yourself. Whether you live near the church or elsewhere in Ubley, we can visit you at home to talk it through.

As a family-run business, we understand that planning for the future can feel personal. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming too. That is why we keep things warm and straightforward, and we explain everything in plain English. You will not be handed over to a faceless department or left to work through dense paperwork on your own.

Our Lasting Power of Attorney work is its own dedicated service. It is not just an add-on to a Will. We also offer Will Writing, and we advise couples on severing property tenancies so they can include a Property Protection Trust if they want one. Each of these is a separate service, so you can choose only what feels right for you and your loved ones.

Our Lasting Power of Attorney services include:

• LPA documents, prepared as part of our fully managed Lasting Power of Attorney service
• BLPA Business Lasting Power of Attorney, for business owners who want arrangements in place for their business

Having both personal and business options means you can talk through your home life and your working life in one conversation. You can then decide what makes sense to safeguard the people who matter most.

Many people prefer to talk about these things somewhere familiar. That is why we offer appointments in the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you. If you would rather meet online, we can hold your appointment via Teams instead. You choose the format that feels most comfortable, and there is no pressure to decide anything on the spot.

Our approach is built on trust, transparency and a personalised service. We want you to come away understanding what your options are and what they mean for your family. That understanding is what brings real peace of mind.

Please remember that this page offers general information, not personal advice. Every family's situation is different. The right Lasting Power of Attorney arrangements for you are best discussed one to one, so your circumstances can be properly understood before anything is put in place.

Before you commit to anything, it helps to know exactly what will happen. Our Lasting Power of Attorney service follows a clear path. You stay in control at every stage, and nothing moves forward until you are ready.

Here is how it works, step by step:

• Step 1: We arrange an appointment to talk through your needs and your particular circumstances.
• Step 2: We then write to you, setting out the options available to you with clear, transparent pricing.
• Step 3: You decide which services, if any, you would like to go ahead with. There's no pressure, and you can take your time.
• Step 4: We draft your documents and make any amendments needed.
• Step 5: When you are happy with them, we produce the final documents and oversee their signing.

Our approach is advice-led, which means we explain your options and you make the choices. You see the pricing in writing before you decide anything. That way you know what you are agreeing to, and you can talk it over with your loved ones first if you wish.

We use plain English throughout. Legal documents can feel daunting, especially if you are thinking about an elderly parent or your own future health. We take the time to explain what each option means for you and your family, so you can feel confident in what you are putting in place.

You may be wondering who will prepare your LPA documents. We are a Full Member of the Society of Will Writers. As full members, we follow the Society's professional Code of Practice. This means you are protected by industry-recognised standards from your first conversation to the final signing.

It is worth being clear that we are not a firm of solicitors. We are a family-run estate planning company, and our membership of the Society of Will Writers is the professional standard we work to.

You may also want to know that the advice you receive is protected. All advice we give is fully insured and indemnified up to £2,000,000. This sits alongside our Society membership as a further safeguard, giving you extra peace of mind when you make important decisions about the people who matter most.

Lasting Power of Attorney is not only a personal matter. If you run a business, we also offer BLPA Business Lasting Power of Attorney, along with Wills for business owners. If your plans need to cover your business as well as your personal life, you can talk both through with us at your appointment. We will set out the options that apply to you.

As a family-run business, we understand that every family and every business is different. That is why we do not offer a one-size-fits-all template. Each set of documents is personalised to your circumstances and drafted only after we have listened to what you need.

Please remember that this page offers general information, not personal advice. Every situation is different, so the right arrangements for you can only be worked out in a one-to-one conversation about your own circumstances.

Getting started is often the hardest part. You may have been meaning to put a Lasting Power of Attorney in place for some time. Something may also have happened recently that made it feel more pressing. Either way, the first step with us is a relaxed conversation, and there's no pressure.

Your initial consultation is no-obligation and comes at no cost to you. It is a chance to talk through your situation, ask questions and hear about the options open to you. You don't have to make any decisions on the day. You can take the time you need and talk it over with your loved ones.

As a family-run business, we understand that these conversations can be personal and sometimes emotional. That's why we let you choose how and when we meet:

• In the comfort of your own home, at a time that suits you
• Online via Teams, if you prefer to meet that way

A home appointment means you can talk in familiar surroundings, with family members alongside you if you wish. An online meeting via Teams works well if you are comfortable with technology, or if relatives who want to be involved live further away. Whichever you choose, you get the same friendly, personalised and professional service.

We also stand behind our work. We guarantee your satisfaction with every Will, LPA and Trust we draft. That means you can put things in place knowing we are committed to getting your documents right for you and the people who matter most.
