Your truly local will writer

Weston-super-Mare is our home, we know it better than anyone

Futura Planning is based in Churchill, just minutes from Weston. We're not a national firm that happens to serve your postcode. We live and work here.

Weston-super-Mare is one of the South West's most distinctive towns — a seaside resort that has evolved into a thriving residential community of over 84,000 people. From the Victorian and Edwardian seafront terraces near Knightstone Road to the family suburbs of Worle, the desirable village feel of Uphill, and the new communities growing at Locking Parklands — Weston is home to an incredibly varied mix of families, retirees, and long-term residents, many of whom have never got around to writing a Will.

Weston has one of North Somerset's largest retirement communities. The seafront, Kewstoke, Worle, and Uphill are all home to significant numbers of older residents — many of whom have substantial assets, including property, that need to be properly looked after. A Lasting Power of Attorney is just as important as a Will for this group, and something we always discuss as part of every consultation.

Because we're based in Churchill — just off the A38 between Weston and Axbridge — we cover the whole of Weston and every surrounding village quickly and conveniently. There's no waiting for a national firm to schedule a visit, and no need for you to travel anywhere. We also offer online appointments via Microsoft Teams for those who prefer to meet virtually.

Why Weston-super-Mare residents choose Futura Planning

We're genuinely local. Based in Churchill, just minutes from Weston, we visit clients across BS22, BS23 and BS24 regularly. We know the town's streets, neighbourhoods, and communities — because we're part of them.

Will writing across Weston-super-Mare's neighbourhoods

Wherever you live in and around Weston, we visit you at home. Here's a little about the communities we serve most regularly.

Seafront, Clarence Park & Ellenborough (BS23 · Seafront & town centre)Weston's Victorian and Edwardian seafront terraces are some of the town's most characterful properties, many now converted into flats, others still family homes. This area also has a high concentration of retirement apartments, making LPAs particularly relevant here.

Worle & Locking Parklands (BS22 · North & east)One of Weston's largest residential areas, with its own High Street, schools, and train station. Locking Parklands is a major new community on the site of the former RAF Locking, hundreds of new families putting down roots who need Wills in place.

Uphill & Oldmixon (BS23 · South)Uphill has a coastal village feel, with beach access, the historic church above the cliffs, and a strong community. It's one of Weston's most desirable pockets, and home to many established families who benefit from comprehensive estate planning.

Kewstoke & Sand Bay (BS22 · North)A quieter coastal area north of the town, with views across Sand Bay towards Brean Down. Popular with those wanting space and a more relaxed pace. We visit Kewstoke regularly, and it's one of Weston's highest-ranking areas for quality of life.

Milton & Ashcombe (BS23 · Central)Established residential streets of 1930s semis and detached homes near green space and schools. Consistently popular with long-term Weston residents, many of whom have lived in the same house for decades and are now thinking about their affairs.

Hutton, Locking & Bleadon (BS24 · South & villages)Semi-rural villages on Weston's southern edge, offering countryside access while staying close to the M5 and town amenities. Hutton and Locking are among North Somerset's most desirable postcodes, and residents here often have complex estate planning needs.

Will writing & estate planning services

Everything Weston families need to protect what matters most

From a first Will for a young Worle family to full estate planning for a long-established Uphill household — we cover the complete range, professionally and affordably, with a home visit as standard.

Single Will

A professionally drafted, legally binding Will that records your wishes for your estate, the guardianship of your children, and any personal gifts. Drafted in plain English with all legal frameworks properly in place. From £225.

Mirror Wills (Couples)

Complementary Wills for couples — the most popular choice for Weston-super-Mare families. They protect each other and ensure your home and combined estate passes to the people you've chosen. From £375.

Lasting Power of Attorney

An LPA appoints trusted people to manage your finances or health decisions if you lose mental capacity. Weston has a significant and growing retirement community, and an LPA is one of the most important documents any resident can put in place. From £299.

Family & Property Trusts

Protect your Weston home for the people you love. A Property Trust Will shields your share of the family home from future care costs and ensures it passes to your chosen beneficiaries, not whoever might inherit next. From £549.

Lifetime Trusts

A Discretionary Lifetime Trust is a flexible way to secure your home and assets for future generations. It provides comprehensive protection and clear guidance for your loved ones, during your lifetime and beyond. Ask for details.

Will Storage & Updates

We offer secure Will storage so your document is always safe and retrievable. Life changes, a new home in Locking Parklands, a marriage, children, a change in circumstances, and we make updating your Will simple and affordable. From £99.

If you pass away without a Will…

The rules of intestacy may not reflect your wishes

Many Weston residents assume their estate will automatically go to the right people. Without a valid Will, that's frequently not what happens.

Unmarried partner gets nothingCohabiting partners, no matter how long you've been together or what you own jointly, have no automatic right to inherit. Without a Will, they could lose the home you share.

A court decides who raises your childrenWithout a named guardian in your Will, the courts make that decision. It may not be the person you'd choose, and the process can be deeply distressing for families.

Unnecessary inheritance taxPoorly structured estates can result in a much larger inheritance tax bill than necessary. With the right Will and estate planning in place, this can often be significantly reduced.

Children from a first marriage disinheritedIn blended families, the rules of intestacy can leave children from a previous relationship with nothing, even when that was never your intention.

Family conflicts and delaysWithout written instructions, disputes between family members are common and can be costly and time-consuming to resolve. A clear Will prevents most of these situations entirely.

Your Weston home at riskWhether it's a family home in Worle, a bungalow in Hutton, or a seafront flat, without a Will or trust, your most valuable asset may not pass to the people you intended.

Client feedback

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.

Mr & Mrs J.A. Robbins, North Somerset

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 happily recommend Futura Planning to friends and family.

Mr & Mrs Whitehouse, North Somerset

Living in Worle, I wanted a local will writer who really knew the area, not a national firm. Futura Planning visited me at home, explained everything clearly, and I had my Will and LPA sorted within the week. Truly local, truly professional.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes, genuinely. Futura Planning is based in Churchill, just a few minutes from Weston-super-Mare via the A38. We cover the whole of BS22, BS23 and BS24, plus all surrounding villages including Hutton, Locking, Bleadon, Banwell, Kewstoke, Congresbury and Yatton. When we visit you in Worle or Uphill, it's a short local drive, not a long journey from Bristol or beyond.

Absolutely, and this is something we do regularly. Weston has a large and active retirement community, and we regularly visit older residents across BS22, BS23 and BS24 to help with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and property trust planning. We take extra time to explain everything clearly and never rush an appointment.

Most people benefit from both. A Will records your wishes after you die. A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) operates during your lifetime, appointing trusted people to make financial or health decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity. Crucially, an LPA can only be set up while you still have mental capacity, so it's important not to delay.

A Will is the core document, it records what should happen to your assets after your death. Estate planning is broader: it includes your Will, but also LPAs, property and family trusts, and structuring your assets to protect them and minimise inheritance tax. We offer a free estate planning consultation alongside every Will instruction.

Not at all, and if you have children, writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do. A Will lets you name a guardian for your children if something happens to both of you, and ensures your assets go to the people you choose. Young families are among those who benefit most from having a Will in place.

Most clients receive their completed, signed Will within one week of their appointment. We can often arrange a home visit within a few days of your initial contact. If your situation is urgent, please mention this when you call, we will always do our best to help quickly.

Also thinking about a Lasting Power of Attorney?

Most Weston-super-Mare clients who write a Will also benefit from putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, it's the most comprehensive way to protect both your estate and your personal wishes, done in a single home visit. We offer both types of LPA (Property & Financial Affairs, and Health & Welfare), including the full OPG submission and registration service. Both LPAs together start from £449, or from £633 all in once OPG registration is included.
