Pricing

We are competitive,
because we:

Online Poll!

One of the most important questions we are asked! We understand that budgets are important which is why as professional will writers we are very competitively priced against solicitors, despite offering a professional and bespoke service.

We also now offer a fast-track video service where minimal advice is required, if you need to keep costs down, or else we offer a standard, full advice home or video service. Click here for pricing.

Will facts (click here for more topics)

Inheritance tax. For the 2018/2019 tax year, the inheritance tax allowance is £325,000.

Trusts. Trusts can be used for life assurance to avoid inheritance tax! However, many people do not make use of this FREE and useful option.

Probate. Many people think they need probate when they do not! Releasing money from bank accounts for example, may be possible with just a statutory declaration, if this is where the only assets are held.
Keep calm and make a will

*Please note that the cost advertised is for a basic will, which tends to cover most peoples circumstances. Wills that include specialist trusts will be charged more due to the more complex nature of these wills and the fact that we create trusts to match each client's individual circumstances. Trusts may also be recommended for inheritance tax planning, but all clients will be made aware of extra costs before any work is carried out. We do not charge anything until your will is legally valid - i.e. after signing.

It always pays to look at all the small print on a website. If you take a will through us and mention you read all the small print, we will divert £5 of our fees to a local charity in your area - please tell us which one. We take our fee minus £5 and a £5 cheque payable to that charity. Just mention local charity when paying.
This firm is compliant with the IPW Code of Practice
Our IPW No. is 2154.
