The New Forest — Estate Planning

Wills in The New Forest

The New Forest is a special place to call home, with its ancient woodland, open heathland, and charming villages. Many residents here have unique considerations — from properties with land to commoning rights and rural assets — that need careful attention in a Will.

About Wills

A Will is the foundation of any estate plan. It sets out clearly who inherits your assets, who looks after your children, and how your affairs should be handled after you pass away. Without a valid Will, the law decides who gets what — and the results can be surprising, costly, and deeply upsetting for those you leave behind. At Barrett-Smith & Doulton, we draft Wills that are clear, legally robust, and tailored to your specific circumstances. Whether you have a straightforward estate or more complex family arrangements, we ensure your wishes are properly documented and legally binding.

What's Included

  • A thorough consultation to understand your circumstances and wishes
  • Professional drafting of your Will by an experienced estate planner
  • Advice on executors, guardians, and beneficiaries
  • Guidance on Inheritance Tax planning where appropriate
  • A full review meeting to ensure you are happy with every detail
  • Secure storage options for your completed Will
