Most people know they should have a will, but they either don’t have one, or have one that was made years ago and hasn’t been looked at since. It sits on the list of things to sort out – somewhere below everything urgent. We make the process as simple as it needs to be, and no more complicated than that.
Who needs a Will or Lasting Power of Attorney?
Many people assume wills and lasting powers of attorney are only for the elderly or wealthy. They’re not. If any of the following apply to you, it’s worth having a conversation:
McKenzie Legal & HR work with experienced will-writers who take the time to make sure everything is properly understood before anything is signed – and make the process, which most people find daunting, feel genuinely manageable
Single wills and mirror wills for couples
Making sure your assets go to the right people.
Clear and legally binding documentation
Inheritance tax planning
Setting up trusts to protect assets
Gifting and wealth preservation strategies.

If you lost the ability to make decisions about your health, finances, or property, through illness, an accident, or anything else, without a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, nobody has the legal authority to act on your behalf. Not your spouse, not your family, not your business partner. A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you choose who steps in, before that decision is taken out of your hands.
Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)
Allows a trusted person to make medical and care decisions for you.
Ensures your finances are managed if you are unable to do so.
Without an LPA, the only route is through the Court of Protection – slow, expensive, and stressful.

Thank you, Rachael for your professionalism in producing our LPAs. We couldn’t have had a nicer person to deal with, and all went through quickly and stress-free.”
Rachael did an absolutely superb job for us in preparing both wills and lasting power of attorney documents. Rachael was extremely professional.. very knowledgeable… Proactive.. helpful and efficient in every way. Her pricing structure is also extremely competitive and very good value indeed, especially for the excellent and faultless service that she provides. I would recommend Rachael to everyone very highly indeed and thank her for the all-round great job that she did for us”
Wills start from £200, depending on complexity. Lasting Powers of Attorney start from £250 per document. A separate Office of the Public Guardian registration fee applies currently £92 per LPA (unless exempt) but subject to change. All fees are confirmed at your consultation with Leah before any work begins.
No. While DIY wills exist, they frequently lead to disputes or are found to be invalid. Working with a qualified professional ensures your will is legally sound, properly witnessed, and correctly executed.
Without a will, your estate is distributed according to intestacy rules, which may bear no resemblance to what you would have wanted. Unmarried partners have no automatic right to inherit. Neither do stepchildren. A will takes that uncertainty away entirely.
Yes. A will can be updated at any time. It’s worth reviewing yours after significant life events – marriage, divorce, having children, buying property, or any major change in your circumstances.
Your attorney must be someone you trust completely – a family member, close friend, or professional. They will have significant authority to act on your behalf, so the choice matters. Leah will talk you through what to consider at your consultation.
