Wills in Bempton
Bempton wills look straightforward from the outside: a bungalow, a pension, children who live elsewhere. The part worth thinking about is who is named executor, because an executor two hours away has a longer job than one in the village.
Mirror wills for a couple £550. A will with a trust in it £650, or £950 for a couple.

Bempton is largely retirement property, and most households here are one person or two. A power of attorney is what allows a son or daughter living elsewhere to deal with the bungalow, the pension and the utilities on a parent's behalf.
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.

Probate in Bempton is usually for a household that has been in the village for decades. The estate is often modest, but the property is old, the paperwork is older, and families here would rather it were handled quietly.
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.

Trusts for Bempton families are usually about one thing: protecting the family home from care fees if you move into residential care. Done properly, a Trust can protect part of the value. Done wrongly, the local authority treats it as deliberate deprivation and ignores it. Aaron says plainly which applies to you.
Each piece of work is priced on its own. Planning alongside a will is £450 or £750. A lifetime trust is £1,500.

Around Bempton.
Each has its own page, because what comes up in Bempton Village is not what comes up in Reighton.
Bempton village sits on the approach to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, home to England's largest mainland gannet colony and the puffins that draw visitors every spring.
Buckton is a tiny farming hamlet between Bempton and the cliffs, a cluster of farms and cottages around Buckton Hall on the lane towards Speeton.
Speeton is one of the smallest settlements on this stretch of coast, a scattered hamlet of farms above Speeton Cliffs, known for St Leonard's Church, a tiny Norman building that is among the smallest churches in England.
Reighton straddles the A165 at the northern edge of the East Riding, where the coast turns towards Filey Bay.
