wills and trusts in gainsborough.

Gainsborough is about forty minutes from me, across the River Trent into Lincolnshire. The Old Hall in the middle of town is worth a visit if you’ve never been. I cover Gainsborough and the villages round it, on both sides of the river.

The visit is included in the price, however far out you are. Daytime or evening, I’ll come to you. There’s nothing extra to pay for the drive.

what if your family is spread across two counties?

Lots of families here have ties on both sides of the Trent. Your children might live in Retford or Worksop. Your parents might be in a Lincolnshire village. Your executor might be in Doncaster. People sometimes ask whether that causes a problem.

It doesn’t. The law on wills is the same across England and Wales. It doesn’t matter which county you live in, where your executors live, or which side of the river your children are on. The same goes for lasting powers of attorney. They’re registered with one national office, and they work everywhere in England and Wales.

The one time location matters is if you own property abroad, or you’ve lived in Scotland or overseas. If that’s you, tell me early on and I’ll be honest about what I can and can’t help with.

The family side is where I spend most of my time. If you have children, it’s worth reading about sideways disinheritance, which is the thing I specialise in preventing. A single will is £149 and mirror wills are £249.

If you’re in Gainsborough, book a home visit or ring me.
