wills and trusts in retford.

Retford is one of my regular runs. It’s about twenty minutes from Worksop along the A57 and A620, and I’m there most weeks. If we’ve arranged to meet and you want to walk it off afterwards, the market square and the Chesterfield Canal towpath are both close by.

coming to you in retford

I come to your home, whether you’re in the town itself or one of the villages round it. The visit is included in the price. Daytime or evening, it’s the same. I bring everything with me and we go through it at your table.

what if one of you remarries?

This is the question I ask almost every couple in Retford, because most of them come to me wanting mirror wills. Mirror wills are simple. You leave everything to each other, then to the children. For a lot of people that’s fine.

But once the first of you dies, the survivor owns everything outright. If they remarry, the new marriage cancels their old will. If they then die first without a new one, the law can pass most of the estate to their new husband or wife. Your children can be left with little or nothing. That’s sideways disinheritance.

It’s not about distrusting each other. It’s about what happens years later, when neither of you can control it. A protective trust in your wills can make sure your share still reaches your children. I explain how it works on the sideways disinheritance page.

Mirror wills are £249 for the two of you. If a trust would help, I’ll explain why and what it costs before you decide anything.

Ring me or book a home visit in Retford and we’ll find a time.
