Protect those who matter most.

As a professional Will Writer & Estate Planner based in Huddersfield, I help individuals and families ensure their wishes are protected and their loved ones provided for.

My role is to make the process straightforward, ensuring you and your loved ones are fully protected.

While leaving everything to each other may seem enough, a truly thoughtful Will should work much harder, giving you certainty, control, and peace of mind.

With care and experience, I can help you safeguard everything you’ve spent a lifetime building and ensure it’s passed on to your loved ones in the most protected and tax-efficient way possible.

Many people delay estate planning, but having a Will, Will Trust and Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPAs) in place offers peace of mind and avoids unnecessary stress for family members in the future.

Here are a few key reasons why:

✅ A Will ensures your wishes are carried out – Without one, the law decides how your estate is distributed, which may not reflect your intentions.

✅ You choose who looks after your estate – Appointing executors gives you control over who manages your affairs.

✅ LPAs protect you during your lifetime – Should you lose mental capacity through a Stroke, Accident or Dementia, your chosen attorneys can make decisions on your behalf regarding finances, property, health and welfare.

✅ Avoids costly delays – Without LPAs, families may need to apply to the Court of Protection, which can be lengthy and expensive.

I’d be happy to arrange a no-obligation consultation to discuss your circumstances and explain how a tailored plan can provide certainty for the future.

Get in touch to discuss your requirements or to arrange a face to face appointment in the comfort of your own home.

It’s easy to put off writing your will - life gets busy, and there’s always a reason to wait.

The truth is, there’s no 'right time' to get it done, and waiting for a major life event can leave your loved ones unprotected in the meantime.

Writing your will now means taking control, making your wishes clear, and giving your family certainty when they need it most.

At Haighs Wills and Estate Planning, we make the process simple, straightforward, and tailored to you, so you can stop putting it off and get the peace of mind you deserve today.

What is Lasting Power of Attorney?

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows you to appoint one or more people, a member of your family or a close friend, to make decisions on your behalf during your lifetime.

Accidents or illnesses can occur unexpectedly at any age, making a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) a crucial legal document for anyone to have in place.

Without an LPA, should you lose the ability to make decisions, no one will automatically have the legal right to manage your finances or make healthcare decisions for you. If you want to ensure that someone you trust retains control of these decisions, it’s advisable to establish an Lasting Power of Attorney.

Lasting Power of Attorney is a completely separate legal document to your Will although many people put them in place at the same time as getting their Will written, as part of planning for the future.

There are two different Powers of Attorney (LPA) available – one is for Property and Financial Decisions, this empowers your Attorney to manage and make decisions concerning your finances and property. This includes responsibilities like paying bills, selling property, managing your pension and handling your benefits. The other Power of Attorney is for Health and Welfare decisions, this authorises your Attorney to make decisions regarding your healthcare and daily living. This includes choices about where you live, your diet, medical care and social interactions.

If you do not make Powers of Attorney whilst you have the mental capacity to do so, and you subsequently lose the ability to look after your own affairs, then the alternative is an application to the Court of Protection for the Court to appoint somebody. This can be very expensive, very time consuming and very stressful.

Making a Power of Attorney must be done whilst you are able to make decisions for yourself.
