Estate planning in Kirkby-in-Ashfield
Kirkby has grown from a mining village into a comfortable commuter town, with Portland Park and the old railway trails offering green space right on the doorstep and easy links to the M1 and beyond. Taking in East Kirkby, Nuncargate and Annesley Woodhouse, it is an area of established family homes where people tend to put down roots and stay. The questions we hear most are heartfelt and practical: how do I make sure the house goes to the children, who would look after my affairs if I couldn’t, and how do we keep everything simple and fair? These are exactly the situations a good Will and Power of Attorney are made for, and we tailor them carefully to each family.

What is the difference between a Will and a Lasting Power of Attorney?
A Will sets out what happens to your money, property and possessions after you die, and who carries out your wishes. A Lasting Power of Attorney is different — it lets people you trust make decisions for you during your lifetime, if illness or injury ever left you unable to. Most families benefit from having both, and we can arrange them together.
How quickly can you visit us?
Usually within a few days, and often sooner if it is urgent. Kirkby is very easy for us to reach, and we will arrange a home visit at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends by arrangement.
