Beccles, Suffolk
Will writing in Beccles
A market town on the River Waveney, Beccles sits right on the county border, and so do many of the families we help here. We visit people at home across the town and the surrounding villages to put wills, lasting powers of attorney and trusts in place.

Helping families around Beccles
Beccles has the feel of a proper town: a Friday market, the bell tower, the quay and the Broads beginning at the end of the garden. We meet people in the old streets around the church, in the newer homes at Worlingham and off the Ellough road, and in the villages on both sides of the river, from Gillingham and Geldeston on the Norfolk bank to Ringsfield, Barnby and the Ilketshalls on the Suffolk side.
Farming and the land are part of life here, and so are family businesses handed down through the generations. We take the time to understand how your land, your business or your boat should pass on, and draft your will accordingly.
A conversation at your own table
We come to you, whether that is a cottage in Beccles, a farmhouse towards Bungay or a bungalow in Worlingham. We talk through your wishes without hurry, prepare your documents, and come back to hand deliver them for signing.
Things Beccles families often ask us about
- Passing on a farm or family business
- Mirror wills and protecting a share of the home for children
- Lasting powers of attorney for a parent who is finding paperwork difficult
- Providing for grandchildren who are still young
- Which county's rules apply, and whether it matters

Questions from Beccles families
I live on the Norfolk side of the river. Does that matter?
Not at all. The law is the same in Norfolk and Suffolk, and we visit families on both banks of the Waveney.
Do you cover the villages around Beccles?
Yes. Worlingham, Barnby, North Cove, Ringsfield, Geldeston, Gillingham, Kirby Cane, the Ilketshalls and beyond. If in doubt, ask.
Can you help with a will that includes farmland?
Yes. Agricultural property needs careful drafting and may have tax implications, so we will explain the options and point you to a regulated adviser for anything that turns on your tax position.
Do you also cover Bungay and Lowestoft?
Yes, both are close by and we visit them regularly.
