Wills
Lasting Powers of Attorney
Best value
A will together with both Lasting Powers of Attorney, prepared in the same matter.
Looking after your will
Protecting the family home
Converting a joint tenancy to a tenancy in common, so each share can pass under your will.
Will trusts
Each trust is prepared and incorporated within your will. However many your will requires, you will never pay more than £750 (single) or £1,250 (mirror). Final figures are confirmed in writing at your consultation.
Fixed-fee probate
Most solicitors and banks charge between one and five percent of the estate, plus an hourly rate, plus VAT. Because we specialise solely in wills and probate, we work quickly and charge a fair, transparent fixed fee. On a larger estate, that difference can be many thousands of pounds.
