Wills Fees
As Wills are very individual documents, we like to have the opportunity to discuss your personal circumstances and requirements in order that we can provide you with options and advice to enable you to make an informed choice about how your Will is drafted. Therefore, the price options for our Wills can vary depending on need.
Our prices start from £325 plus VAT for a single simple Will and £550.00 plus VAT for two simple mirror Wills for a couple.
All Wills, once signed, are stored free of charge for your lifetime with copies provided for you to have at home.
What is a single simple Will?
A single simple Will is for one person. You can make a single Will whether you have a partner or not.
A Single simple Will would include:
- Naming your executors (the people who would deal with the administration of your estate).
- The inclusion of any instruction or preferences you may have in relation to your funeral.
- The appointment of legal guardians for any children you have who are under 18.
- Naming the people and/or charities you want to leave your estate to when you pass away.
What are simple mirror Wills?
These are generally used by couples who have very similar wishes about how their Wills should be written.
There will be two individual documents, one for each person and the two documents will generally reflect each other.
Simple mirror wills include the same provision as a single Will although usually there is an extra provision where the couple initially leave everything to each other.
It is important to note that you can change or update your Will at any time even if it one of a pair of mirror wills as long as you have the required understanding to be able to do so.
