Case studies
These are illustrative examples showing how a particular trust can be used, not details of real named clients.
A trust for a grandchild with additional needs
A grandparent wanted to leave money for a grandchild with a long-term disability, without it affecting the grandchild's means-tested benefits later in life. A vulnerable person's trust, with clear trustees and a letter of wishes, gave the family a workable, benefit-safe structure.
A blended family, protected fairly
A couple, each with children from an earlier marriage, wanted to be sure their own children inherited specifically — without relying on the surviving partner to eventually “do the right thing”. A pair of mirror wills with a property protection trust gave the survivor a right to stay in the home for life, with the property itself ultimately split between both sets of children.

Stone & Swallownest will writing — common questions
Is a Lasting Power of Attorney the same as a will?
No. A will only takes effect after you die; an LPA only works while you're alive but unable to make decisions for yourself, covering either your property and finances, or your health and welfare, or both.
Can I update my will later if my circumstances change in Stone & Swallownest?
Yes — and you should review it after any major life change: marriage, divorce, a new grandchild, moving house, or a business you've started. We can make a small amendment (a codicil) or write a fresh will depending on how much has changed.
What's the difference between a will trust and a living trust?
A will trust (also called a testamentary trust) only comes into existence after you die, written into your will. A living trust is set up and funded while you're still alive, and can start working immediately — both have their place depending on what you're trying to achieve.
Do you visit clients at home near Stone & Swallownest?
Yes, home visits are available across Stone & Swallownest and the surrounding area for anyone who would rather not travel, alongside phone and video appointments if that's easier.
Do I need a solicitor to write a will in Stone & Swallownest?
No — a will is legally valid in England and Wales as long as it is in writing, signed by you, and witnessed correctly by two people who are not beneficiaries. We draft the document and check it meets every legal requirement, without the hourly-rate cost of a traditional solicitor's office.
