# Birchwood Legal Ltd
Birchwood Legal is an estate planning specialist based in Lincoln, founded by Gary Smith, a law graduate with over 15 years' experience in the private client and probate sector. The firm serves individuals and families across the region who need guidance on wills, powers of attorney, probate matters and general estate planning.
Gary is a Trust and Estate Practitioner governed by the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executive Lawyers (CILEX), and a member of the Society of Will Writers (SWW). Whilst not a solicitor, his specialist focus allows him to provide straightforward, accessible advice without the overhead costs of a traditional law firm.
What sets Birchwood Legal apart is Gary's commitment to making estate planning conversations relaxed and informal. Rather than confining discussions to an office, he's happy to meet clients over coffee or visit their home or workplace at convenient times. This personal, down-to-earth approach removes the formality and anxiety often associated with estate planning.
The firm offers comprehensive support across wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney (both property/financial affairs and health/welfare), secure document storage, will updates, and executor aftercare. Gary takes a hands-on approach, guiding clients through each stage whilst ensuring all documents are legally sound and reflect their exact wishes. His emphasis on accessibility, combined with professional expertise and genuine care for clients' wellbeing, makes him a trusted local resource for sensitive life planning matters.
