What our Wiltshire & Somerset clients say
“My father had a farm and when he passed away without a proper succession plan it caused enormous difficulty, practically and emotionally.
I have now put a full estate plan in place for my own farm through PJH and would strongly recommend them to any farming family.”
Why Choose a Local Estate Planning Specialist?
We are not a national company processing your estate plan through a call centre. When you work with PJH Estate Planning, you deal with the same adviser from your first conversation to the day your documents are signed.
We meet you at our offices or in your own home, at a time that suits you, and take as long as is needed to understand your full situation before recommending anything. That is the kind of personal service that national firms cannot provide.

Wiltshire & Somerset: FAQ
Planning your estate in Wiltshire or Somerset? Here are answers to the questions local families ask us most often. From home visits and how long things take to protecting your home.
Get in TouchYes. We offer home visits throughout Wiltshire and Somerset at no extra charge, or you are welcome to visit us at our offices. If it suits you better, we also offer video consultations.
We help families in Wiltshire and Somerset with Wills, Trusts to protect your children's inheritance, and Inheritance Tax planning, so more of what you've built up passes to the people you choose.
It can be. Property values across much of Wiltshire and Somerset have risen considerably over the years, so a family home plus savings and investments can take an estate past the £325,000 tax-free threshold sooner than many people expect. Anything above the available allowances can be taxed at 40%, but with the right planning that bill can often be reduced.
We typically turn around a draft Will within 7–10 working days of your consultation, depending on complexity. Once you're happy with it, we'll guide you through signing and witnessing so it's legally valid.
Not just because you've moved: a valid Will made in England stays valid wherever you live in England. It's still worth reviewing, though, especially if you've bought a new home, married, had children or your circumstances have changed. Marriage, for example, usually cancels an existing Will.
