About Barmston

What comes up in Barmston.

Safe Harbour Legal covers Barmston and the coastal villages around it with Wills, Probate, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Trusts. Barmston sits on the fast-eroding East Yorkshire coast, which raises its own questions: what erosion does to property value, to inheritance planning, and to the long-term security of a family home. Aaron Johnson drafts with those in mind. Fixed fees, with free home visits across the village.

  • Home visits across Barmston village and the surrounding coast
  • Understands how coastal erosion affects property and inheritance
  • Covers Ulrome, Skipsea, Atwick and the wider Holderness coast
  • On the A165 between Bridlington and Hornsea

Written by Aaron Johnson, a solicitor in Bridlington, who comes out to Barmston himself.

What it costs in Barmston.

See every fee

Four services, four from-prices, VAT shown. Each figure is the lowest fixed fee for that kind of work on its own, and says what it buys. Each link opens the Barmston page for that service: every fee, what happens in order, and how long it takes.

Powers of attorney done with a will take £150 off the fee, once, however many documents are made.

  1. Wills in Barmston

    Barmston sits on a fast-eroding stretch of coast, so a house here may not be worth on the day of administration what it is worth today. A will written for the village allows for that rather than gifting one named property and hoping it survives.

    Mirror wills for a couple £550. A will with a trust in it £650, or £950 for a couple.

    from£350+ VATfor standard will, one person
  2. Lasting powers of attorney in Barmston

    Barmston sits on a fast-eroding stretch of coast, and much of the village is retired or living in coastal and caravan-park property. Decisions about insurance, a claim or a move are ones an attorney can take and a well-meaning relative cannot.

    Both for one person £800. Both for each of a couple £1,400. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each document, paid at cost on top.

    from£550+ VATfor one lasting power of attorney, one person
  3. Probate in Barmston

    Probate on a Barmston estate turns on the coast. A house near the cliff is valued differently from one set back, and the estate has to be reported on the facts as they stood rather than on what the family hoped.

    Aaron obtains the grant and you do the rest. Full administration from £3,000. The court’s £526 application fee is paid at cost on top.

    from£950+ VATfor grant only probate
  4. Trust and estate planning in Barmston

    Trusts in Barmston tend to have the coast behind them: a home that may not last a generation, or the money that may replace it. A trust can hold either without the family having to guess now which it will be.

    Each piece of work is priced on its own. Planning alongside a will is £450 or £750. A lifetime trust is £1,500.

    from£450+ VATfor declaration of trust
