Wills, Trusts & LPAs in Rotherham
Rotherham families have always looked after their own, and putting a proper Will and Lasting Power of Attorney in place is part of that. Whether you are near the Minster in the town centre or out towards Wickersley, Bramley or Wath, we bring clear, unhurried estate planning advice to your door.
Estate planning in Rotherham
There is a strong sense of community in Rotherham, from the market that has run for centuries to the neighbourhoods of Broom, Moorgate, Kimberworth and Brinsworth. Many of the people we help here have lived in the same house for decades and have grown-up children settled nearby; their priority is usually simple and heartfelt — to make sure the family home and their savings pass smoothly to the next generation without fuss or family friction. We also help a good number of clients who care for an elderly parent and suddenly realise, often after a health scare, that no Power of Attorney is in place. We are used to sorting exactly that, calmly and quickly.
Why local families choose Lighthouse
We are local, independent and easy to talk to. There is no high-street office to visit and no receptionist to get past — instead we come to your kitchen table, listen properly, and give you honest advice about what you actually need (and what you do not). Fees are fixed and agreed before any work starts, and if all you need is a straightforward Will, that is exactly what we will prepare.
Areas we cover near Rotherham: We serve the whole of Rotherham including Wickersley, Bramley, Brinsworth, Kimberworth, Wath, Rawmarsh, Maltby and the surrounding villages.

My mum lives in Rotherham and her memory is starting to slip — can we still set up a Power of Attorney?
As long as your mum still understands what a Lasting Power of Attorney is and what it does, then yes — and it would be wise not to wait. An LPA can only be made while a person has mental capacity. We can visit her at home, explain it gently at her pace, and handle all the paperwork. Once capacity is lost, the only route left is the Court of Protection, which is far slower and more costly.
Can you come to us in the evening?
Yes. We know people work, and many of our Rotherham appointments are in the evening or at weekends by arrangement, at no extra charge. Just tell us what suits and we will fit around you.
How much do Wills and LPAs cost in Rotherham?
We work to fixed, transparent fees agreed with you before any work begins, and the first consultation in Rotherham 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.
