About Irwin Wills and Estate Planning
Irwin Wills and Estate Planning is a family-run will writing and estate planning firm based in Yorkshire, with offices in Wilthorpe, Barnsley and Masham, North Yorkshire. Led by Niamh and Daniel Irwin, we help individuals, couples and families put the right documents in place to protect the people and things that matter most to them.
We offer face-to-face home visits right across Yorkshire, and secure video appointments for clients anywhere in England and Wales. Every client starts with a free, no-obligation consultation, and all of our work is carried out for a clear fixed fee agreed before we begin, so there are no surprises.
Protecting what matters. Planning for what comes next.
Our services cover everything you need to plan ahead with confidence:
- Wills: single and mirror Wills, tailored to your family, including guardianship wishes for young children and provision for blended families.
- Lasting Powers of Attorney: both Property and Financial Affairs, and Health and Welfare, so the people you trust can act for you if you ever lose capacity.
- Trusts: including property protection and asset protection trusts for your main home, and trusts to protect inheritances for children and vulnerable beneficiaries.
- Inheritance Tax planning: practical guidance on reducing the tax your family may face, working alongside accountants and financial advisers where needed.
- Probate and estate administration: support for executors from start to finish, for a fixed fee quoted after a free consultation.
- Document storage: safe, professional storage of your original Wills and documents, so they can be found when they are needed.
We are proud to offer a dedicated will writing and estate planning service for Deaf and hard of hearing clients across England and Wales.
A registered British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter joins your video appointment for the whole meeting, so you can ask questions, give instructions and understand every part of your documents in your own language. Appointments can be extended so nothing is rushed, and family members are welcome to join.
We can help with Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney and trusts, and we also support Deaf executors and families who are helping a Deaf parent plan ahead.
Daniel Irwin has worked in estate planning for around ten years and has personally helped hundreds of clients. Niamh Irwin is the firm's director and founder. As a husband and wife team, we treat every client the way we would want our own family to be treated.
Our process is simple and transparent:
1. A free initial consultation by phone or video to understand your situation.
2. A clear written quote and letter of engagement, with half the fee paid to start.
3. A detailed meeting to take your instructions, including executors, guardians and attorneys.
4. Drafting, with regular updates so you always know where things stand.
5. A face-to-face signing meeting where we explain your documents in plain English, with the balance paid on completion.
Where your affairs need specialist input, we work alongside financial advisers, chartered tax advisers, accountants and solicitors.
We visit clients at home throughout Yorkshire, including Barnsley, Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Wakefield, Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, Hull, York, Harrogate and Ripon. Clients can also meet us at our offices in Wilthorpe, Barnsley and Masham, North Yorkshire.
If you live further afield, we offer secure video appointments by Google Meet or Zoom for clients anywhere in England and Wales, with the same personal service and fixed fees.
