Taylor Lucas Partnership: Will writing and estate planning from Cannock

Taylor Lucas Partnership is a Will writing and estate planning firm based at Unit 7, Morston Court, in Cannock, Staffordshire. The company was founded in 2021 by Mark Hurst and Mitch Lowe, who had previously worked for years in the Will writing, estate planning and protection sector. The firm states that it has prepared more than 25,000 legal documents since opening and that it complies with the code of practice of the Institute of Professional Willwriters.

Its stated aim is to make Will writing and estate planning accessible, with what it describes as straightforward, fairly priced and transparent service. The founders present the business as a reaction to what they saw in the industry: confusing jargon, inconsistent service and unnecessary costs.

Core services for individuals and families

The firm's service range covers the main instruments of personal estate planning:

• Will writing: preparation of a Will so that loved ones face fewer administrative duties and a lighter burden.
• Trust writing: a trust forms part of the Will and is presented as a way to increase asset protection for chosen beneficiaries.
• Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA): an LPA lets relatives make decisions on health and finances if a person loses mental capacity; without one, the family would have to apply to the courts for a grant, which the firm describes as arduous and expensive.
• Document storage: professional storage of the Will to reduce the risk of it being misplaced, damaged or tampered with. The firm notes that only the signed version can be admitted to the probate registry by the executors.

Free Will writing as an employee benefit

Beyond private clients, Taylor Lucas runs a workplace benefit programme: it provides Will writing and estate planning to employees of partner organisations in both the public and private sectors, together with their partners, at no cost to the employee. The firm argues that over half the population has no Will, which it attributes mainly to cost, lack of understanding and confusion about how to access a professional service, and presents the free service as a way of removing those obstacles.

Among the organisations it lists as partners are the University of Oxford, University College London, Teesside University, Newcastle University, the University of Southampton, the University of Portsmouth and the University of Liverpool, alongside Jet2, Pret-A-Manger and Asahi Group UK. The firm has also announced a free Will writing employee benefit aimed specifically at schools, academies and trusts.

Reputation and credentials

The company reports regular five-star ratings on Google and Trustpilot, and its own summary refers to 703 five-star reviews. It also states that it has been awarded Cyber Essentials certification. Its registered company number is 13283455, registered in England and Wales.

How the firm presents itself

Taylor Lucas frames its work around accessibility and continuity of contact, describing an approach in which calls are returned, questions answered and clients are not treated as case numbers. It also emphasises transparent pricing and honest advice as the basis of its relationship with families across the UK.
