Set in Stone Wills: Bringing personal, affordable legal services to Stone

Set in Stone Wills and Powers of Attorney, a new legal business founded by local expert Kate Sutherland, is offering affordable, jargon-free advice on wills, lifetime planning, and more—right here in Stone.

A passion for personal service

With over 20 years of experience in Wills and Probate, Kate Sutherland has seen the legal industry from the inside and decided it was time to do things differently.

“I’ve always loved meeting with clients, but traditional law firms often prioritise fees over service,” Kate explained. “I wanted to create a flexible, personal experience where people don’t feel rushed or overwhelmed.”

Having studied Law at Staffordshire University while working as a legal secretary, Kate built her career through determination and care, leading to her launch of Set in Stone Wills towards the end of 2024.

Flexible, client-focused services

Set in Stone Wills specialises in:

• Wills
• Lasting Powers of Attorney
• Lifetime planning
• Care fee advice
  

Kate prides herself on providing clear, practical advice without the jargon or pressure often associated with traditional legal services. What truly sets her apart, however, is her flexible and transparent approach:

• No obligation consultations: Clients receive advice without feeling pushed into decisions.
• Free home visits: Kate offers appointments at clients’ homes, free of charge, throughout Staffordshire and Cheshire.
• Evening and weekend availability: She works around her clients’ schedules, ensuring convenience is key.
• Affordable fees: Lower costs, thanks to minimal overheads, with no compromise on quality.

Rooted in the community

Having lived in Stone for over a decade and raised nearby in Eccleshall, Kate knows the importance of local connections.

“Stone was the natural choice for my business. I understand the community here, and I want my clients to feel comfortable and cared for.”

Her company’s name reflects that local focus, as residents—particularly those over 60—form her primary client base. However, Kate is keen to encourage younger people to think ahead when it comes to wills and planning.

2025 offers and collaboration opportunities

To kick off 2025, Set in Stone Wills is offering 10% off all services for clients who mention that they saw the details on A Little Bit of Stone. Kate is also looking to connect with financial advisors and accountants in the area who want to expand their services and collaborate.

Kate finished by saying,

“I genuinely care about helping my clients. I’ll never sell anyone something they don’t need—this is about giving people peace of mind and support when they need it most.”
