Wills, Trusts & LPAs in Beeston
From Beeston Square and the tram stop to Chilwell, Bramcote, Toton and the quiet lanes beside Attenborough Nature Reserve, we help NG9 families put a clear Will and Lasting Power of Attorney in place — with fixed fees and a free visit to your home.
Estate planning in Beeston
Beeston is one of the busiest and most varied places we cover. The tram has knitted it into Nottingham, the University sits along its northern edge, and Boots has been on Thane Road for well over a century, so the town holds an unusual mix: long-standing Beeston families, retired professionals in Bramcote and Chilwell, and a good number of people who came here for work or study decades ago and simply never left. Down by the Trent, Attenborough Nature Reserve gives the place a surprising stillness a few minutes from the shops. The estate planning questions reflect that mix. We help retired couples in Bramcote who want a straightforward pair of mirror Wills and their affairs left tidy; landlords and small business owners around Beeston and Stapleford whose estates are more than just a house; parents with a child who has additional needs and who need a discretionary trust drafted so that means-tested support is not put at risk; and people with property or family abroad, where the Will needs writing with more care than usual. None of that is unusual to us.
Why local families choose Lighthouse
We give you an unhurried, honest conversation at your own kitchen table rather than a rushed appointment in an office. If your situation is genuinely straightforward, we will tell you so and keep it simple. If it is not — a business, a rental portfolio, a vulnerable beneficiary, assets overseas — we will explain what actually needs to be dealt with and why, in language you can repeat to your family afterwards. Fees are fixed and agreed up front, the first consultation is free, and there is never any obligation to go ahead.

I have a disabled son — how do I leave him money without affecting his benefits?
This is exactly what a discretionary trust in your Will is for. Rather than leaving a lump sum to your son directly, which can put means-tested benefits and local authority support at risk, you leave it to trustees you choose, who hold it for his benefit and pay out at their discretion. You can also leave a letter of wishes explaining, in your own words, how you would like him looked after. We take real care over these Wills and will talk through who your trustees should be.
I own a couple of rental properties — does that change my Will?
It usually does, in ways worth thinking about. Rental property brings the estate’s value up, which can matter for inheritance tax, and it also raises practical questions your executors will face: who manages the tenancies while the estate is being administered, whether a property should be sold or kept, and how you would like the income treated in the meantime. We will make sure your Will and your choice of executors reflect all of that rather than leaving your family to guess.
How much do Wills and LPAs cost in Beeston?
We work to fixed, transparent fees agreed with you before any work begins, and the first consultation in Beeston is always free. Lasting Powers of Attorney also carry a separate government registration fee of £92 per document, paid to the Office of the Public Guardian — we explain exactly what you'll pay and to whom before you commit to anything.
