Local expertise, we come to you

Proudly serving Bridgwater and the Levels, wherever you are

We're not a national call centre. We know Bridgwater, the Somerset Levels, and the rural communities that surround them, and we visit every single one of them at home.

Bridgwater is Somerset's second-largest town, and the market and professional services hub for a vast area of rural Somerset, from the Quantock foothills to the Somerset Levels, from the Bristol Channel coast at Burnham-on-Sea to the villages of the Polden Hills. Many Levels and rural Somerset families have never had a professional will writer visit them at home, and many assume it's not possible. It is. We do it every week.

Whether you're in a semi on Quantock Road in Bridgwater, a stone cottage in Stogursey, a farmhouse between the rhynes near Westonzoyland, or a bungalow in Burnham-on-Sea, we visit you at home, at a time that suits. There's no travel, no waiting rooms, and no extra charge for being in a more rural location within our service area.

With over 25% of Somerset's population aged 65 or over, well above the national average, and with a large proportion of those residents living in dispersed rural communities across the Levels, the need for a Will and an LPA in this part of Somerset is as pressing as anywhere in the country. We're here to help make it easy.

Every community we serve

Will writing across Bridgwater's communities and the Somerset Levels

Wherever you live in or around Bridgwater, we visit you at home. Here's a guide to the communities where we work most regularly.

Bridgwater Town & Wembdon (TA6 · Bridgwater town)From the historic streets near St Mary's Church to the family streets of Wembdon, Hamp and Sydenham, Bridgwater town has a wide age profile. Many long-established families have lived in the same home for decades and want to get their affairs in order, often combining a Will and LPA in a single appointment.
Cannington & Nether Stowey (TA5 · Quantock foot)Cannington with its college and village character, and Nether Stowey, famous for Coleridge's time there, are communities where many residents assume professional services require a trip to Taunton or Bristol. We visit both regularly, at home, at no extra cost.
North Petherton (TA6 · South)A substantial village with its own identity just south of Bridgwater, home to many long-established families whose estate planning is often overdue. North Petherton is a regular home visit location for us and one of the areas where LPA and Will combinations are most commonly requested.
Westonzoyland & the Levels villages (TA7 · Somerset Levels)The flat, dispersed communities of the Somerset Levels, Westonzoyland, Chedzoy, Moorland, Middlezoy, are home to farming families and retired residents who tell us they always assumed a professional Will writer wouldn't come out to them. We always do, and it's always the same price.
Shapwick, Ashcott, Catcott & Edington (TA7 · Polden Hills)The Polden Hills communities have an older-than-average population and a strong community identity. Many residents here have lived on the same road for generations, and many are now at the stage where a Will and an LPA are the two most important documents they can have.
Burnham-on-Sea & Highbridge (TA9 · North Somerset coast)Burnham-on-Sea's retirement and seaside community includes many residents who have moved from other parts of the South West. Highbridge connects it to the wider Somerset area. Both are fully within our service area, with no extra travel charge, and LPA + Will combinations are particularly common here.

Client reviews

What our Bridgwater & Somerset clients say

We both would also like to thank you for the high level of service you provided when we requested that you draw up mirror wills for us both. We both recommend your services to other potential clients without reservation.
Mr & Mrs J.A. Robbins, North Petherton, Somerset TA6
I am very happy that we chose Futura Planning to do our LPAs and update our Wills. Stephen was at all times prompt and professional, very helpful and patient in explaining the details of such documents. We are very happy to recommend Futura Planning to friends and family.
Mr & Mrs Whitehouse, Somerset
We live in Westonzoyland and always assumed we'd need to travel into Bridgwater for Will writing services. We were delighted to find Futura Planning would visit us at home in the village. Both Wills sorted in one session, explained clearly throughout. Highly recommended.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions about will writing in Bridgwater

Yes, genuinely. We visit Westonzoyland, Chedzoy, Moorland, Middlezoy, the Polden Hills (Shapwick, Ashcott, Catcott, Edington), Puriton, Pawlett, Chilton Trinity and all dispersed Levels communities at the same cost as a town visit. Many residents are surprised, but we do this every week, and there's never an extra charge for distance within our service area.
Futura Planning charges from £225 for a single Will, and from £375 for Mirror Wills for couples. Property Trust Wills start from £549. Will reviews from £99. All fees are fixed and quoted upfront before any work begins, no hourly rates, no surprises.
Yes. Without a Will, your estate is distributed under the Rules of Intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. If you have children from a previous relationship, a business interest, property, or specific wishes about who should inherit specific items, a Will is essential regardless of marital status. The Rules of Intestacy often produce results that surprise families.
Absolutely, and we actively recommend it. A Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney together give complete protection: one for after your death, one for if you lose capacity during your lifetime. Setting both up in a single appointment is the most efficient approach, and we offer them together. See our LPA Bridgwater page for full details on our LPA service.
Without a Will, your estate is distributed under the Rules of Intestacy. This means unmarried partners may receive nothing; stepchildren may be excluded; specific wishes about personal possessions are ignored; and the court decides who raises your children. For families in Bridgwater and across the Levels, where property ownership is widespread and family circumstances are often complex, this can cause significant difficulties.
Most clients receive their completed Will within 7–10 working days of their home appointment. We can accommodate urgent turnaround in exceptional circumstances, please mention this when you enquire. For LPAs, OPG registration currently takes around 20 weeks; we submit on your behalf and keep you updated.
Yes, we offer online appointments via Microsoft Teams, which is particularly popular for adult children who live outside Somerset and want to get a parent's Will in place without a home visit being necessary for them. The parent still receives our standard service. For most Bridgwater and Levels clients, though, a home visit remains the most comfortable and thorough option.
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 across the full area, including rural Levels communities that solicitors rarely serve with home visits. For complex contested estates or ongoing legal disputes, a solicitor is the right choice, and we'll tell you honestly if that applies to your situation.

Also thinking about a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Most Bridgwater and Levels clients who write a Will also benefit from putting LPAs in place at the same time, it's the most comprehensive way to protect your family, done in a single appointment. We handle both Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs, including the full OPG submission. With 25% of Somerset's population aged 65 or over, an LPA is every bit as important as a Will.

LPA in Bridgwater

More than half of UK adults don't have a valid Will.

For Bridgwater families, Levels communities, and every rural Somerset household, getting your Will in place is one of the most important things you can do for those you leave behind. And with Futura Planning, you never even need to leave home.
