Wills, Probate & Later Life Planning
Life is full of big decisions, and planning for the future is one of the most important. At Waddington Turner Wall, our dedicated Private Client specialists are here to guide you through every step of later life planning. We know these conversations are far from easy, and the legal side of things can often feel complex and overwhelming, whether it’s writing a will, arranging a lasting power of attorney, or estate planning.
That’s why we’re committed to providing clear, professional and reliable advice, ensuring your wishes are respected and your loved ones protected.
Please note:
- The Office of the Public Guardian, responsible for registering Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA), is currently experiencing delays. They have advised that we allow them 20 weeks to process LPAs before contacting them for an update.
- Similarly, Grants from the Probate Registry take anything from 8 to 20 weeks. If we try to chase them before 16 weeks, the Probate Registry will discontinue our call.
We apologise if any of the delays mentioned above impact you. Please consider this when contacting a member of our team.
Our experienced legal team is dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of later life planning. We offer a wide range of services to help you document your wishes and protect your future.

Please note that we are not financial experts. If we believe that you or an estate or trust would benefit from expert tax advice, we will recommend appropriate providers, such as accountants and financial advisors.
Our dedicated legal team specialises in a wide range of matters, including wills, estate management, Powers of Attorney, and trust administration. We support you at every stage, from initial advice through to completion.
With over 60 years of combined experience, our team offer practical guidance that can:

- Provide a clear and realistic assessment of your situation.

STEP is a leading professional body for lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, and other practitioners who help families plan for their futures. They set standards, provide training and education, and ensure their members maintain professional excellence.
Full STEP members, known as TEPs (Trust and Estate Practitioners), are specialists in inheritance and succession planning.
Choosing the right professional for those important and often sensitive matters can be difficult. Many aspects of planning are unregulated, meaning anyone can write a will, for example, regardless of training or expertise. With a TEP, you can have confidence that your affairs are in safe hands.
