Will. Trust. Lasting Power of Attorney.

Three documents that sound similar and do very different jobs.

• A Will says what happens to your things after you die.
• A Lasting Power of Attorney lets someone you trust act for you if you can't, while you're still alive.
• A Trust can hold and protect assets for the people you choose, on the terms you choose.

Most families benefit from at least two of these. Which one have you been putting off?

Our hearts go out to little Noah’s family at this heartbreaking time.

―I‘ll lend you for a little time a child of Mine, He said,
― For you to love while he lives and mourn for when he‘s dead.
― It may be six or seven years or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me? ― He‘ll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,
You‘ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
― I cannot promise he will stay, since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.― I‘ve looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true.
And from the throngs that crowd life‘s lanes, I have selected you.
― Now will you give him all your love, not think the labour vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say: ―Dear Lord, thy will be done!
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we‘ll run.
We‘ll shelter him with tenderness, we‘ll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we‘ve known, forever grateful stay.But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we‘ve planned,
We‘ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand. Poem by Edgar Guest

So, what actually happens if you die without a will?

This is where estate planning can suddenly become very real.

Because when someone dies without a valid will, their wishes don’t get to decide what happens to their estate.

The law does.

And that can mean the people you would have chosen to benefit may not receive what you expected them to.

It can also create difficult conversations at an already incredibly difficult time.

Imagine losing someone you love…

…and then having to work out:

Who gets the house?

What happens to the savings?

Who inherits personal belongings?

Who has responsibility for sorting everything out?

And, where children are involved, who will care for them?

These aren’t conversations anyone particularly wants to have.

But avoiding them doesn’t make them disappear.

Good estate planning is about taking those difficult decisions while you can.

It gives you the opportunity to put your wishes in writing, rather than leaving your family to navigate uncertainty later.

And that’s one of the things we’ve come to appreciate most about this work.

It isn’t really about paperwork.

It’s about people.

It’s about the conversations we have now that can make an incredibly difficult time a little easier for the people we love.

If you haven’t got a will, don’t wait for the “right time.”

There probably isn’t one.

But there is a right time to start the conversation.

And that can be today.

“I’ll sort my will out one day…”

It’s one of those sentences we’ve probably all said. And while I’m currently enjoying a holiday myself I’ve been reflecting.

There’s always something that feels more urgent.

The mortgage.
The kids.
Work.
The holiday.
The list of jobs around the house.

And because none of us expect to die tomorrow, writing a will can feel like something we can put off until later.

I was exactly the same.

But here’s the thing…

A will isn’t really just about you.

It’s about the people you leave behind.

It’s about making sure your wishes are known.

It’s about deciding who should benefit from the things you’ve worked hard for.

It’s about making things as straightforward as possible for your family at what could already be an incredibly difficult time.

And if you have children, there’s another really important consideration: who would look after them if you weren’t here?

Without a will, the law decides what happens to your estate. It doesn’t necessarily reflect what you would have chosen.

That’s why, as we build the estate planning side of Pelagion Advisory, I’ve become even more passionate about having these conversations.

Because putting a will in place isn’t about expecting the worst.

It’s about preparing for the unexpected.

And actually, once it’s done, there’s something incredibly reassuring about knowing it’s sorted.

If you haven’t got a will yet, perhaps today is the day to stop saying “one day.”

Because your future self — and your family — might thank you for it.

For the past few months, I've been dropping little hints that something new was on the horizon.

Today, I can finally share what that is.

Pelagion is evolving into Pelagion Advisory, and we're launching the first phase of our new journey with a focus on Wills, Trusts and Lasting Powers of Attorney.

This isn't a random pivot. It's the result of a lot of reflection about the kind of business I want to build over the next chapter of my career.

I've always enjoyed helping people make informed decisions that give them confidence about the future. Estate planning is exactly that. It's about protecting families, preserving choices and giving people peace of mind long before it's ever needed.

The part that makes this even more special is that I won't be doing it alone.

My daughter, Rachel Noonan is joining me in the business.

She brings a law degree, fresh perspective and the same values that have always guided the way I work: putting people first, explaining things in plain English and building relationships based on trust.

For us, this isn't just the start of a new business venture. It's the start of building something together that we hope will serve families across East Yorkshire for many years to come.

This is only Phase 1.

There are more developments to come over the coming months, but for now we're excited to begin helping individuals, couples and families put the right legal foundations in place for the future.

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged and cheered me on during this transition. Your messages, conversations and referrals have meant more than you know.

Here's to the next chapter.

It’s always a great feeling when you get good feedback from a client and this morning was one of those times!

I joined my fellow members of Wolds BNI (Beverley and East Yorkshire) for our in person breakfast meeting and was presented with this lovely testimonial from Mark Edwards of Alec W G Hall Outfitters.

It was a sensitive project and I was so privileged they chose me for the job.
