Most people put off writing a will because it feels complicated or morbid. It doesn't have to be either. I keep things plain, personal and straightforward — no jargon, no home visit, no unnecessary delay.
A few things worth knowing before you put it off any longer.
If you die without a will, the rules of intestacy dictate who gets what. That might not be who you'd choose — and unmarried partners get nothing, regardless of how long you've been together.
Without an LPA in place, if you lose mental capacity, your loved ones have no legal right to access your bank account — even to pay bills. The only route is an expensive court application that can take months.
You can only create a Lasting Power of Attorney while you still have mental capacity. Once it's gone, it's too late. Many people don't realise this until the moment they need it most.
Only married or civil partners have automatic rights under intestacy. If you're not married, or if you have children from a previous relationship, the rules may produce a result you'd never have wanted.
Most people need a straightforward will. It doesn't require a solicitor or a home appointment — and the peace of mind it gives is immediate. From £129, it's one of the best decisions you'll make.
If someone who receives means-tested benefits inherits directly, it can affect their entitlement. A discretionary trust protects them — letting trustees support them without jeopardising what they already receive.
I focus on the documents most people actually need. If your situation calls for something more specialist, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
A will sets out who looks after your estate, who inherits, and any particular wishes — from specific gifts to guardians for younger children. I offer single wills and mirror wills for couples. Straightforward, legally valid, and written in plain English.
An LPA lets someone you trust step in to handle things on your behalf if you ever lose capacity — whether that's managing your finances and property, or making decisions about your care and medical treatment. Two types are available: Property & Financial Affairs, and Health & Welfare.
If you want to leave something to a person who receives means-tested benefits, a discretionary trust protects their entitlement. Rather than assets passing to them directly — which could affect their support — a trust allows trustees to use those assets for their benefit in a way that preserves their position.

Everything is handled by phone and email, at a time that suits you.
Drop me a message or call. I'll have a brief chat to understand what you need and give you a clear quote before anything starts.
I'll take you through everything — your circumstances, your wishes, who you'd like to benefit. It's straightforward, and I'll explain anything that needs explaining.
I draft everything and send it to you to review. Once you're happy, I'll guide you through signing correctly so your documents are legally valid.
Keep your documents somewhere safe and let the right people know where they are. I'm here if anything changes down the line.
I'm Luke Richecoeur, a professional will writer working directly with clients across England and Wales. I trade as That Will Guy — because that's exactly what I am: the person you call when you want your will sorted properly, without the formality or the fees of a solicitor.
I work with people from all walks of life. Most just want the peace of mind of knowing their wishes are written down and legally sound. Some have more complex situations — and when they do, I'll be honest with you about whether I'm the right person to help, or whether you need someone else.

Real feedback from people who've sorted their estate planning with us.
"I'd been putting this off for years because I didn't know where to start. My son has severe autism and I was terrified about what would happen to him if something happened to me. Luke explained everything clearly, never made me feel rushed, and made sure the trust was set up in a way that protects Jamie's benefits completely. I can't tell you what peace of mind that gives me."
"I'd been meaning to sort a will for years and kept putting it off. Luke made the whole thing completely painless — one phone call, clear advice, and it was done. Professional, friendly and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend."
"My mum had a stroke last year and we had no LPA in place. Getting access to her accounts was an absolute nightmare. I vowed I'd never let that happen to my own family, and Luke sorted both LPAs for me and my husband quickly and efficiently. Glad I've got it sorted."
"Luke was brilliant from start to finish. No jargon, no fuss — he just listened to what we wanted and got it sorted. The mirror wills for me and my husband were done quickly and we felt completely looked after throughout."
"Really straightforward process. Luke explained exactly what each LPA covered and why both types matter. Felt like I was dealing with someone who genuinely cared rather than just going through the motions. Would recommend to anyone."
"I contacted Luke after my father passed away without an LPA and I saw firsthand how complicated that made things for our family. He was empathetic, knowledgeable and made the whole process easy. Both my LPAs are now registered and I feel so much better for it."
Fill in the form and I'll come back to you, usually the same day. No commitment, no hard sell — just a straightforward conversation about what you need.
Thanks — I'll be in touch shortly.
