Your wishes. Your family. Your future.
Making a Will or planning for the future can raise important questions. At Grayling Windsor Thomas, we take the time to understand what matters to you, explain your options clearly and help you put appropriate arrangements in place with confidence.
Because every family is different.
There is no single approach to estate planning that suits everyone. Your family, your home, your priorities and your wishes are unique. Our role is to listen, understand your circumstances and guide you towards arrangements that are appropriate for you.
How we can help you
Who inherits your estate?
Wills
Without a Will, the law decides what happens to your estate — and that may not reflect your wishes. A properly prepared Will lets you choose who inherits, who looks after your children and who you trust to carry out your instructions.
Let's Talk About Your WillIs a trust right for you?
Trust Planning
Some homeowners and families consider trust arrangements as part of their wider estate plan. We explain what trusts can and cannot do, and help you decide whether they are appropriate for your circumstances — without overstating what they offer.
Discuss Your OptionsWho would act for you if you couldn't?
Lasting Powers of Attorney
An LPA lets you appoint someone you trust to manage your finances or make decisions about your health and care if you lose capacity. Without one, even close family members may have no legal authority to help you.

What our clients say
Real experiences from people who have arranged their estate planning with GWT.
Amazing service from Michael. Explains everything and makes what seems daunting, actually a pleasure. I've waited too long to sort a will and lasting power of attorney because I thought it would be mumbo jumbo language and expensive. Actually it's not, it's easy, explained in straightforward English and inexpensive. If you haven't done it yet, give these a call.
Great experience with Michael at Grayling Windsor Thomas. Michael explained everything (Will and LPA) in a detailed but simple way. I would 100% recommend.
I am thrilled to recommend Michael for his outstanding expertise, extensive knowledge, and genuine kindness. Michael provides invaluable insights into the potential impacts of decisions on assets, tax implications, and capital gains. His guidance is instrumental in future-proofing assets and safeguarding the estate for your children, loved ones, and family. During my time with Michael, I found him to be welcoming, patient, kind and clear in his communication. He navigated through his passion for the industry with ease, sharing his extensive knowledge and explaining each step of the process.
My partner and I had a recent meeting with Michael from Grayling Windsor Thomas. Before the meeting we thought that we were well informed but Michael's knowledge was incredible — he raised so many considerations we hadn't thought of, fully reviewed our circumstances, which are complex, and proposed all sorts of protective mechanisms within our estate planning. Michael was warm, patient, clear in his communication, an expert in his field and took us through every step explaining our options. We could not rate him highly enough. Thank you Michael, you have been wonderful!
I asked Michael to assist in the estate planning for an elderly relative in what turned out to be a fairly complicated matter. At all times Michael was very approachable, extremely friendly and above all else, extremely knowledgeable. His attention to detail was second to none. No question seemed to be too much trouble to answer in simple, clear and concise terms. The turnaround time for the will writing and helping my elderly relative to put all of her assets into a trust was nothing short of brilliant. This is an unsolicited review but I cannot heap enough praise on Michael who literally bent over backwards to help us, going above and beyond what was expected. If you need someone who is highly competent to write up a will or to help protect your assets by putting them into a trust, Michael will do you proud.
The gentleman that helped me was Michael. What a lovely person. Michael was very knowledgeable, and nothing was too much trouble. He led me through the whole process of submitting my Lasting Power of Attorney, and I feel it went very smoothly. The charge for this service I feel was extremely reasonable, especially when you see the charge from other companies. I certainly would recommend this company to others and I'm sure they won't be disappointed.
Michael was absolutely amazing. Was a little put off by a free will, but honestly go with him. All sorted and posted within 3 days — thank you for your help. I will definitely be recommending him to all my family and friends.
Michael was very prompt to answer my enquiry, he was extremely informative and advised me thoroughly on my initial enquiry and throughout the process. We chose the standard Will which is a free service offered by this company. However we will look to expand on the content as we get older and our circumstances change. There was no pressure to proceed with any changes until the time was right for us, and the prices were clearly set out along with the required information. I would highly recommend Michael for a professional Will writing service.
Michael is very friendly and helpful, and one call could save you thousands of pounds. He's very informative, helping you to make the right decisions. Our Wills and Lasting Power of Attorney arrangements are tailor-made, according to our needs.
