Local will writing and probate help for Landimore
If you live in Landimore and you are thinking about writing a will, putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, setting up a trust, or you are dealing with the estate of someone who has passed away, we are here to help. We come to you, anywhere in the local area, at a time that suits — including evenings and weekends. There is no charge for the initial conversation, and our fees are fixed and agreed in writing before any work begins.
We are experienced will writers and estate-administration specialists working across the whole of South Wales. Whether your situation is straightforward or complicated by property, business interests, a blended family, a vulnerable beneficiary or care-fees concerns, we will explain your options clearly and quietly, and let you decide in your own time.
A little about Landimore
Like many Welsh communities, the settlement has been shaped by centuries of farming, faith and family tradition, with deep roots in the local landscape and the Welsh language. Records of small communities of this kind often appear in parish documents, tithe maps and 19th-century census returns, painting a picture of slow, steady growth around chapel, school and farmstead.
We mention this because writing a will is, in the end, about looking after the people and places that matter to you. We work with people across communities like Landimore every week, and we never lose sight of the fact that this is your story, your family and your wishes — not a form-filling exercise.

Will writing in Landimore
A will is the single most important legal document most of us will ever sign. Without one, the law decides what happens to your home, your savings and your possessions — and the rules of intestacy rarely match what people actually want. Unmarried partners receive nothing automatically. Children of a previous marriage can be cut out. The wrong relatives can end up with everything.
We will help you write a will that says clearly:
- Who your executors are — the people you trust to carry out your wishes.
- Who looks after any children under 18 (your appointed guardians).
- How your estate is divided, including specific gifts, charitable legacies and the residue.
- What happens if a beneficiary dies before you, or at the same time.
- How any business interests, shares or property abroad are dealt with.
- What kind of funeral you would like, if you wish to record that.
Our fixed-fee promise
For clients in Landimore and the surrounding area, we work to clear, fixed fees agreed in writing before any work begins. There are no hidden costs and no time charges — what we quote is what you pay.

Common situations we help with in Landimore
Every family is different, but these are the situations we are asked about most often:
- Unmarried partners who want to provide for each other but currently have no legal protection.
- Blended families where there are children from previous relationships and a wish to be fair to everyone.
- Business owners who want their share of the business to pass smoothly to a chosen successor.
- Property in joint names — we will explain the difference between joint tenants and tenants in common and which is right for you.
- Care fees — we can talk through what a property-protection trust can and cannot do (we will always be honest with you about this).
- Disabled or vulnerable beneficiaries who would lose means-tested benefits if they inherited outright.
Probate in Landimore
When someone close to you dies, the practical and legal tasks can feel impossible alongside the grief. Probate is the legal process of dealing with the deceased's estate — gathering in the assets, paying any debts and tax, and distributing what remains to the beneficiaries. We handle this work day in, day out, and we will guide you through it at whatever pace suits you.
How we help
For families in Landimore dealing with a bereavement, we offer two clear levels of help:
Grant-only service
You gather the information; we prepare the inheritance tax return and apply for the Grant of Probate on your behalf. Charged on a fixed-fee basis, with the figure agreed in writing before we start.
Full estate administration
We deal with everything — assets, debts, HMRC, the Grant, selling property, distributing to beneficiaries and providing full estate accounts. Priced on a fixed-fee basis after a free initial conversation.
What we deal with on your behalf
- Identifying and valuing all the assets and liabilities of the estate.
- Preparing and submitting the Inheritance Tax return to HMRC.
- Applying for the Grant of Probate (or Letters of Administration where there is no will).
- Closing bank accounts, cashing in investments and selling or transferring property.
- Tracing missing beneficiaries where needed.
- Preparing full estate accounts and distributing to the beneficiaries.
How long does probate take in Wales?
For a typical estate, the Grant of Probate currently takes around 12 to 16 weeks from submission to the Probate Registry. The wider estate administration — collecting in assets, selling property if needed, paying tax and distributing — usually takes between 6 and 12 months. We will give you realistic timescales for your particular case at the outset.

“Very approachable. Sorted out my will after my divorce and made sure my ex-husband was properly removed as an executor. Thank you.”
“The whole experience was lovely. I expected it to be stressful and instead I came away feeling everything was finally in order. Wish I’d done it years ago.”
