We help individuals and families across Bristol put the right plans in place with will writing, trusts, lasting powers of attorney and probate support. Whether you’re planning ahead, protecting your home, or making things easier for loved ones in the future, we provide clear guidance and practical support every step of the way.

Why Estate Planning Matters?

Putting a Will in place is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your wishes and your loved ones.

However, a Will is just one part of a wider plan.

Planning ahead helps you decide exactly what happens to your home, savings and assets. By combining will writing with trusts and lasting powers of attorney, you can ensure your affairs are managed properly both during your lifetime and after you’re gone.

Without the right plans in place, loved ones can be left dealing with delays, uncertainty and difficult decisions during probate.

Taking action early gives you clarity now and peace of mind for the future.

At 1st Line Future Planning, we understand that these decisions aren’t always easy. That’s why we’re here to guide you through the process, helping you put the right plans in place so you and your family can move forward with confidence.

Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA)

A Lasting Power of Attorney allows you to appoint someone you trust to make financial or health-related decisions on your behalf if you lose capacity. It gives you and your family peace of mind knowing your affairs will always be handled by the people you choose.

Trusts & Asset Protection

Trusts help safeguard your property, savings, and investments for the people you care about. They can control how and when your assets are passed on, help reduce inheritance tax, and prevent your home from being sold to cover care fees or other unexpected costs in the future.

Estate Planning FAQ's

If someone dies without a will, their estate is distributed according to intestacy rules. This may not reflect their wishes and can create additional stress and complications for loved ones.

Without the right planning, assets can unintentionally pass outside of your family, for example if a partner remarries or changes their will later on. Using the right trust structure can help ensure your share is protected and passed on to your chosen beneficiaries.
It’s best to put a lasting power of attorney in place while you still have full capacity, so that someone you trust can step in and make decisions if needed in the future.

Yes, they serve different purposes. A will covers what happens after you pass away, while a lasting power of attorney protects you during your lifetime if you’re unable to make decisions yourself.
