Will Writing Services in Cowbridge & Llantwit Major
Cowbridge's historic high street and Llantwit Major's old town and coastline sit at the heart of the rural Vale of Glamorgan, surrounded by farms and small villages such as Peterston-super-Ely and St Nicholas. Homes here often come with land, outbuildings or a family farm, and that can make a will more involved. PJH Estate Planning visits families across the Vale in the comfort of their own home, or you are welcome to meet us at our offices.

Will Writing in Cowbridge & Llantwit Major: FAQs
Thinking about a will or Lasting Power of Attorney in Cowbridge, Llantwit Major or the Vale villages? These are the questions local families ask us most often. If yours is not here, please get in touch.
Get in TouchYes. We meet clients at our offices or in the comfort of their own homes throughout Cowbridge, Llantwit Major, Peterston-super-Ely, St Nicholas and the surrounding villages and farms.
Our single wills start from £150 and mirror wills for couples from £250. If your will needs trust provisions, we will quote a fixed fee in writing before any work begins.
It can be. Your will needs to say clearly who inherits the land, the farmhouse and any business, and how other children are treated. Some Inheritance Tax reliefs may apply to agricultural or business property, and the rules have recently changed. We will explain how the current rules apply to your estate.
There are several ways. Some families leave the farm to one child and other assets to the others, while others use a trust or ask the farming child to pay a share to the others over time. We will explain the options so that you can choose what feels right for your family.
If you lose capacity without a Lasting Power of Attorney, your family may have to apply to the Court of Protection before they can deal with your bank accounts or property, which can take months. An LPA lets you choose who can act for you, and we can arrange it at the same time as your will.
