Understanding the area
One river, two distinct towns — both with genuine estate planning needs
Glastonbury and Street sit two miles apart, divided only by the River Brue, but their character and demographics are genuinely different. Here's the picture for each.
Glastonbury
Famous for its Tor, its ruined Abbey, its festival, and its longstanding reputation as a centre for alternative spirituality, Glastonbury has attracted residents from across the country who have chosen to settle here later in life — often without extended family nearby in Somerset. The town's age profile reflects this: it is older and more settled than many comparable Somerset towns, and the estate planning need is correspondingly real.
- Average resident age 47 — well above England's 40.3 national average
- Many residents have relocated to Glastonbury later in life, often without local family
- Mendip district's 65–74 age group grew 33.9% between 2011 and 2021
- Average BA6 property value around £316,000 — an estate worth protecting properly
Street
Home to C&J Clark, the shoe company whose Quaker founders shaped the town's character, housing and welfare provision for generations, Street has a younger, more family-oriented population than its neighbour. Crispin School, Strode College and Millfield School anchor a community of working families, and Clarks Village draws up to four million visitors a year. Many Street families have lived here for generations, building significant equity along the way.
- Median age approximately 40 — a family-oriented community structure
- Anchored by three major schools: Crispin School, Strode College, Millfield School
- Long Clarks heritage — many families have deep generational roots in the town
- Average BA16 property value around £284,000 — consistently below Glastonbury
Local expertise across both towns
Will writers and estate planners for Glastonbury, Street & the Levels
We're not a national call centre. We know Glastonbury's character, Street's heritage, and the specific circumstances that make estate planning genuinely relevant in both.
Glastonbury and Street sit either side of the River Brue, close enough to share a school catchment, a hospital, and a local newspaper — yet distinct enough in character that treating them identically would do both a disservice. Glastonbury is older, more settled, and home to a significant number of residents who arrived later in life, drawn by the town's reputation and atmosphere rather than family ties. Mendip district's median age rose from 43 to 47 between the two censuses — higher than the South West (44) and England (40) overall, with the 65 to 74 age group growing by 33.9%.
Street, by contrast, has a younger and more settled family profile — anchored by Crispin School, Strode College and Millfield School, and shaped by generations of families connected to the Clarks shoe business. Many Street families have lived in the town for decades, building significant property equity, and have Wills that predate their current circumstances by many years.
We visit clients at home throughout Glastonbury (BA6) and Street (BA16), and across the surrounding villages — Walton, Meare, Butleigh, West Pennard, Baltonsborough and Compton Dundon. No extra charge for home visits anywhere in our service area, and evening and weekend appointments are available.
Why Glastonbury and Street families choose Futura Planning
We visit you at home, wherever you are. Whether you're near the Tor in Glastonbury, on the Clarks side of Street, or in one of the Levels villages between the two — we come to you at no extra charge, at a time that suits.
We understand both towns' distinct character. Glastonbury's older, often family-distant population and Street's deep generational roots call for different conversations, and our approach reflects that — not a one-size-fits-all script.
Fixed fees, quoted upfront. No hourly rates, no billing surprises. Mirror Wills from £375 all in. A free estate planning consultation is included with every Will.

Will writing across Glastonbury, Street & the Levels villages
Wherever you live across this stretch of Somerset, we visit you at home. Here's a guide to the communities we serve most regularly.
Will writing, estate planning & LPA services
Everything Glastonbury and Street families need
From a first Will to a comprehensive estate plan and Lasting Power of Attorney, our advisers guide you through every step at your home in Glastonbury, Street or the surrounding villages.
Understanding Lasting Power of Attorney
The two types of LPA — and what each one protects
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you appoint people you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you lose mental or physical capacity. Most Glastonbury and Street residents benefit from setting up both types at the same time.
Property & Financial Affairs
This LPA gives your chosen attorneys the legal authority to manage your finances and property. It is particularly important for Glastonbury residents who have moved to the town later in life, often without family living nearby to step in if something goes wrong. Without this LPA, banks freeze accounts when notified a customer has lost capacity, for a Glastonbury resident without family close by, this can leave bills unpaid and accounts inaccessible with no one legally able to step in.
- Manage bank accounts, savings and investments
- Pay bills and household expenses on your behalf
- Buy or sell your Glastonbury or Street property
- Collect your pension and benefits
Health & Welfare
This LPA gives your attorneys the power to make personal care and medical decisions on your behalf. Unlike the Financial LPA, it can only be used once you no longer have mental capacity to make those decisions yourself. Without this LPA, care providers make decisions based on clinical guidelines alone, not what you would have chosen, or what those close to you know you would have wanted.
- Accept or refuse medical treatment on your behalf
- Speak to care providers and hospital staff
- Decisions about where you live and daily care
- Ensures your personal wishes are legally documented

Client reviews
What our clients say
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.
I moved to Glastonbury ten years ago and don't have family nearby in Somerset. I'd been putting off sorting an LPA, partly because I wasn't sure who to ask. Futura Planning visited me at home, talked it through carefully, and helped me think clearly about attorneys. Both LPAs are now registered. A genuine weight off my mind.
We've lived in Street for over twenty years and our Wills hadn't been touched since the children were small. Futura Planning came to our home, talked us through everything sensibly, and we had both Wills updated within the week. Straightforward, friendly, and exactly what we needed.
