Will Writing in Barnstaple – Meet Marcela Almond

A calm, reassuring and confidential environment where you feel safe, listened to and respected

I’m Marcela Almond, a Partner at Simon Hall Will Writing Services, offering Will Writing, Estate Planning, and Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) services across .

I’m a warm, professional and people-centred advisor and my goal is to help you navigate what can often feel like sensitive, complex and emotional decisions with absolute ease.

I know that thinking about the future and planning your Estate can feel a little daunting, but I pride myself on building trust quickly, listening with empathy, and guiding you through the process at your own pace, with plenty of patience and absolutely no pressure.

My background has always been rooted in supporting people through important life transitions. Before joining the team, I spent many years leading employment support services within local government and working closely with vulnerable young people facing housing challenges. I also successfully ran my own wellbeing practice for almost a decade.

Across all these roles, my priority has always remained the same: to provide a calm, reassuring and completely confidential environment where people feel safe, listened to and respected. Whether we meet online or I visit you in the comfort of your own home, you can be confident that every conversation will be handled with professionalism, care and complete discretion.

When I’m Not at Work…

I’ve lived locally for most of my life and now enjoy raising my son in the same community. We are a very active, outdoorsy family and make the most of everything our beautiful coastline and countryside have to offer. At weekends you’ll often find us paddleboarding, sailing our little boat or enjoying time outdoors. When we’re not on the water, I’m usually busy looking after our smallholding and spending time with our collection of animals.
