Book a Free Wills Consultation
We realise that it can be difficult to know where to start. This is why we offer a free initial consultation with one of our specialist Wills & probate solicitors.
At your initial consultation we’ll discuss your circumstances and what type of Will is suitable for you or whether you need to update your Will before you decide whether to go ahead.
Our Wills Service fees
Our Will service starts from as little as £300 including VAT for a standard single Will and £500 including VAT for joint Wills (where both partners make their Wills at the same time).
If you wish to leave a gift or donation to charity or an organisation in your Will, our Wills solicitors can arrange this for you for no extra charge. This is another one of the benefits of our fixed fee Wills service.
Supporting you through Probate
When a loved one dies there is often a lot to sort out. During what can be an emotional time, there will be important legal and financial ends to tie up and that is where our Wills & probate solicitors help.
We can advise you and your family with all the arrangements such as Inheritance Tax, property sales, pensions, shares, bank accounts, unpaid bills, business interests or claims against the estate.
This means that we can provide the full range of estate administration services, which can vary enormously.

Book a Free Consultation
In the course of our work, we may be simply obtaining the Grant of Probate for one client while administering a complex estate for another. That’s why we recommend booking a free initial no-obligation discussion with one of our specialist probate solicitors, who will inform you of your options and the probate administration fees you can expect to pay.
