Will Writing in Teddington

Teddington has long been popular with families, and it is easy to see why — good schools, riverside green spaces, and a genuine sense of community. Many of the people I meet here have lived in the area for years, raised children in the local schools, and built up a home and savings they want to see passed on carefully and fairly. A well-drafted will is the only way to make sure that happens.

Families are very much at the heart of what I do in Teddington. If you have children, your will is where you name guardians who would care for them if the worst happened to both parents — a decision that is far too important to leave to the courts. It is also where you can set up a trust to protect an inheritance until your children are old enough to manage it responsibly, rather than it landing in their hands all at once at eighteen.

Beyond the Will: LPAs and Trusts

I also help Teddington clients put Lasting Powers of Attorney in place. An LPA means that if you were ever unable to manage your own affairs due to illness or injury, someone you have chosen — not a stranger appointed by a court — would step in on your behalf. It is a document I encourage every client to consider, regardless of age, since accidents and illness rarely arrive with much warning.

For blended families, second marriages, or anyone wanting more control over how and when beneficiaries receive their inheritance, a trust built into your will can offer real peace of mind. I talk through these options during our first meeting so you understand what is available and what best suits your family's situation.

Home Visits That Fit Around You

Family life in Teddington rarely leaves much spare time, so I come to you rather than the other way round. I visit homes across Teddington seven days a week, at times that suit you — including evenings once the children are settled and weekends when the whole family can be involved in the conversation if you wish. I also regularly visit clients in nearby Hampton, Kingston, and Twickenham.

Transparent Pricing

A single will starts from £150 and a mirror will for couples from £250 — ideal for parents wanting matching wills with consistent guardianship and trust provisions. Lasting Powers of Attorney start from £75 as an add-on to a will. Every price includes VAT with no surprises later.

As a member of the Society of Will Writers, I make sure every Teddington will is properly drafted, witnessed correctly, and legally watertight.
