Meet Steve Lavelle

Good planning shouldn’t be complicated.

Whether it’s for your family or your business, clear advice makes all the difference.

After years in financial services, I started this practice to offer something more personal - straightforward guidance on wills, trusts and estate planning, without jargon or pressure.

My role is simple: to listen, understand what matters to you, and help you make confident decisions about the future.

Why Every Will Matters

Without a will, the law decides — not you.

Answer two quick questions to see who would inherit under the intestacy rules in England & Wales. Many people are surprised by the result.

How it works

From first conversation to peace of mind

Most services are completed within a few weeks, depending on what’s required and how quickly documents are reviewed and approved. Here’s what to expect.

  1. 01

    A free 30-minute call

    We start with a relaxed conversation — by phone, video or in person. You tell me what’s on your mind; I explain your options in plain English. No obligation, no pressure.

  2. 02

    Your planning meeting

    We go through your family, property, finances and any business interests together, so the plan reflects your whole picture — not just a template.

  3. 03

    Drafting & plain-English review

    I prepare your documents and walk you through every clause. Nothing is signed until you’re completely comfortable with it.

  4. 04

    Signing, storage & reviews

    I guide you through signing correctly, arrange registration or secure storage where needed, and help you keep everything up to date as life changes.

How long does it take to set everything up?

Most services are completed within a few weeks, depending on what’s required and how quickly documents are reviewed and approved.

Do I need to prepare anything before our first meeting?

Not usually — I’ll guide you on anything helpful to have, but the first conversation is simply about understanding your situation and priorities.

Can you work alongside my financial advisor?

Yes, I regularly work with advisers and accountants to ensure your planning is joined-up and aligned with your wider financial picture.

What areas do you cover?

I provide estate planning services across the North West of England, with in-person appointments available locally. I’m based in Crosby and also work with clients remotely where appropriate.

Is there any obligation after the initial consultation?

No — the initial consultation is free and without obligation, giving you space to decide what’s right for you.

Costs depend on the service you need, but pricing is always explained clearly upfront so there are no surprises.
