Practical, friendly advice to help you protect your future
I’m Dudley Barnes, a Partner at Simon Hall Will Writing Services, offering Will writing, estate planning, and lasting power of attorney (LPA) services across Yeovil, South and Mid Somerset, and West Dorset.
If you’re looking for a calm, clear, and supportive approach to getting your will sorted, I’d be delighted to help. I offer flexible appointments — whether you’d prefer to meet at home, online, or over the phone.

Why I Do What I Do
Around 15 years ago, my wife Lesley and I made the decision to get our Wills written. We wanted to protect our estate and make things easier for our family. A friendly advisor visited us at home and guided us through the process with care, warmth, and professionalism.
I remember thinking: “One day, I’d like to do that job.”
It really stuck with me — because that mix of empathy and professionalism is how I’ve always approached my work in client-facing roles. Fast forward a few years, and here I am, doing just that.
Now, I help people across Yeovil and the surrounding areas organise their affairs in a way that’s easy to understand, never rushed, and focused on what matters most to them.
