that's me — I'll be the one at your kitchen table
why I'm back at the kitchen table
For years I've worked behind the scenes of this industry. While running Project Will Ltd, building the software and support that solicitors and estate planners across the UK rely on, people kept asking me for help with their own wills. I kept saying no — I was too busy helping other businesses.
Now I'm saying yes. I want to be the name people round here turn to for their family's estate planning. No stuffy solicitor's office, no rushed sales pitch — just someone who's spent years seeing how this work should be done, sitting at your kitchen table. If you don't need something, I'll tell you.
Read my storywhat if your husband or wife remarries?
If you leave everything to each other and one of you remarries, your children can end up inheriting nothing — it passes "sideways" to the new spouse and their family. It's legal, it's common, and it's avoidable. This is the thing I specialise in fixing.

- one of you diesEverything passes to the survivor, as planned.
- they remarryMarriage cancels their old will. A new one can leave it all to the new spouse.
- it goes sidewaysYour house and savings end up with their new family — not your children.
a protective trust stops this.
what if something happens to both of you?
If you both die without naming guardians, nobody automatically takes over your children — not grandparents, not godparents. A court decides. Putting guardians in your will means you choose, and you can say who you don't want.
- you never wrote it downMost parents know who they’d want — and who they wouldn’t. Few put it in a will.

If you leave everything to each other and the survivor remarries, their new spouse can end up with your house and savings instead of your children. It’s legal, common and avoidable — a protective trust in your wills stops it. It’s what I specialise in.
