Will writing for Wells and the Mendip Hills, we come to you
We're not a national call centre. We know this part of Somerset, and our service is built around visiting you at home, wherever that may be.
Wells is remarkable, England's smallest city by population, but one of the most characterful places in the South West. The medieval streets around the Cathedral, Vicars' Close (Europe's oldest intact residential street), and the moated Bishop's Palace have attracted residents for centuries. Today, Wells draws retirees, families, commuters and second-home owners alike, all of whom have estates and wishes that deserve to be properly recorded.
Property in Wells and across the Mendip Hills is valued significantly above the Somerset average. Whether you live in a Georgian townhouse near the Market Place, a stone cottage in Wookey or Coxley, a converted farmhouse above Priddy, or a family home in one of Shepton Mallet's residential streets, the value of what you own makes estate planning genuinely worthwhile. And for those approaching or in retirement, a Lasting Power of Attorney is equally important.
We visit clients at home throughout Wells and the wider Mendip district, including the villages that often feel underserved by professional services. We also offer online appointments via Microsoft Teams, which is ideal for busy commuters who travel to Bristol or Bath for work, or for anyone in a rural location who'd prefer to meet virtually.
Why Wells residents choose Futura Planning
We come to you, in Wells or the surrounding villages. Whether you're in the city centre or a Mendip hamlet, we'll arrange a home visit at a time that suits, including evenings and weekends. No parking issues, no driving to an office.
We're Society of Willwriters members. As full, qualified members of the Society of Willwriters, we are held to rigorous professional standards, giving Wells residents confidence that their documents are properly prepared and legally sound.
Wells property values matter. With average asking prices in Wells above £349,000, and farmhouses and conversions across the Mendips often worth considerably more, ensuring your estate is properly structured is a real consideration, not just an afterthought. We discuss this honestly as part of every consultation.
Flat fees, quoted upfront. No hourly rates. Mirror Wills for a Wells couple from £375 all in. Call 01934 442030 for a free, no-obligation chat.

Why Futura Planning
Professional, local, and genuinely on your side

If you pass away without a Will…
The rules of intestacy may not reflect your wishes
Many Wells residents assume their estate will automatically pass to the right people. Without a valid Will, that assumption is frequently wrong.

Client feedback
What our Somerset clients say
We both would like to thank you for the high level of service you provided when you drew up mirror wills for us. We recommend your services to other potential clients without reservation.
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. We are very happy to recommend Futura Planning to friends and family.
Living in a village near Wells, I wasn't sure who to call for help with my Will and Power of Attorney. A friend recommended Futura Planning, the home visit meant I didn't need to travel anywhere, and everything was explained so clearly. Wonderful service.
