Professional Will drafting with clarity and trust
Strategic, Effective, Tailored to You.
Protect your loved ones and secure your Family's future. Shire Wills provides tailored, transparent and effective Will writing services across Oxfordshire and the surrounding counties.
Our core services
We offer competitively priced estate planning solutions designed around your unique circumstances. Each consultation is structured to give you total peace of mind because we do all that we can to ensure that your estate is secured against potential future litigation or contest.
Individual Wills
A straightforward, legally binding Will individually tailored to protect your assets, appoint chosen guardians, ensure the upkeep of pets, leave monetary/charitable gifts and set out funeral wishes.
Mirror Wills
Everything included in an individual Will but twice over, with a discount. Designed for couples wanting complementary Wills that protect both partners and pass the estate down to children or other beneficiaries. These Wills can also be carefully strategised to incorporate trust protection which aims to avoid care home costs and prevent your hard earned assets from being eroded by a local authority.
Lasting power of attorney
A living Will, so to speak. Appoint someone you trust to manage your financial affairs or health and care decisions should you be unable to do so due to becoming incapacitated.
Trust planning
It's what we do, a vocation not just a legal service. We do our best to ensure that you are able to safeguard family property and wealth for future generations against unexpected costs or complex family inheritance situations. We are committed to constructing multidimensional and fortified legal documents, not just a standard piece of drafted text.
Dedicated to your Family's future
Based near Reading and throughout the surrounding counties, Shire Wills was established to offer accessible, friendly, and expert Will drafting without the pushy sales tactics which unfortunately seem to be becoming particularly pervasive in the Private Client legal sector owing to long standing legal reforms and a re-classification of who can offer estate planning services. I believe in honest and compassionate advice, clear fixed pricing without extra charges, and the time to listen to what truly matters to you. Whether you prefer home visits or telephone/remote appointments, you will receive a supportive and professional service no matter what.
Transparent advice you can trust
We take the stress out of estate planning. Discover how easy and straightforward getting your affairs in order can be with clear guidance at every stage.
