Making a Will

Why write a Will?

Irrespective of your age or what you currently consider your estate to be worth, making a will is an important, yet usually – straight forward task.

• If you have children it is vital to make a will so you can choose a suitable guardian.  Without this decision, the Courts will appoint guardians instead, and they may not be your preferred choice.
• You can also protect your surviving loved ones from additional expense and the delay in distributing your estate caused by not having a Will.
• Ultimately you can make sure the people you want to benefit – do.  It is not always the case that who you think will benefit, will.
• If you are not married, your partner will not automatically get any money.
• You may choose to donate money to charity.
• Your estate may have to pay more inheritance tax than necessary.
• It is an opportunity to tell your loved ones of your funeral wishes.

Our prices start from:

• £175 plus VAT for a standard single Will
• £300 plus VAT for standard mirror Wills
• If your will is more complicated we will provide a personal quote.

How can we help?

• We want to do everything we can to help you get it right.
• We are here to listen to you and to draft your will to clearly show who is to benefit and what your wishes are.
• Once you have approved the draft, you will be invited back to sign your will.
• Your original will can be stored here or at the Probate Service (England & Wales) for a fee and you will be given a copy for your records. (Or you may take your Will to store yourself.)
• We would be happy to visit you at home and can arrange hospital visits where necessary.
• We would recommend reviewing your will at least every 4-5 years, or if you experience a life changing event such as marriage or one of your beneficiaries dies.
