Wills, Trusts & LPAs in Kimberley
A proper Nottinghamshire town on the Derbyshire border, Kimberley has always looked after its own. We help families here put a dependable Will and Power of Attorney in place, with clear advice brought straight to your door and a price agreed before we begin.
Estate planning in Kimberley
Kimberley’s two great trades were coal and beer, and while the pits have gone and Hardys & Hansons stopped brewing on Main Street years ago, the town has kept the character those industries gave it — close-knit, straight-talking and quietly proud. The old brewery buildings still stand over the town, the Swingate water tower is visible for miles, and beyond Nuthall, Watnall and Giltbrook the countryside opens out towards Eastwood and the Erewash valley. Most of the people we help in Kimberley are homeowners who have been here a long time, often in a house bought from the council or inherited from parents, with children and grandchildren settled nearby in Awsworth, Newthorpe or Nuthall. Their concerns are usually the practical ones: that the house goes to the children without a fuss, that no one is left arguing, that somebody they trust can step in and deal with the bank if their health goes, and that they are not going to be charged a small fortune for sorting it out. All perfectly reasonable, and all easily dealt with.

Do I really need a Will if everything is in joint names?
Joint ownership deals with only part of the picture, and it can catch families out. A jointly owned home usually passes automatically to the survivor, but that leaves the question of what happens on the second death entirely unanswered — and if you are not married, joint names may not do what you assume at all. A Will names your executors, deals with everything the joint accounts do not cover, and lets you protect your own half share for your children if you want to. It is a small job that prevents a large amount of trouble.
What does it cost, and are there any hidden extras?
You will be given a fixed price in writing at the free consultation, before any work begins, and it does not change afterwards. There is no charge for the home visit, no hourly billing and no surprise invoice at the end. The only additional cost is a genuinely external one: the £92 registration fee the Office of the Public Guardian charges the government for each Lasting Power of Attorney. We tell you exactly what you will pay and to whom before you commit to anything.
