Why make a will? If you die without a will, the law - and not you or your relatives - will decide how to divide up your property. For example, your husband or wife may not inherit everything you wish or a distant relative may take precedence over a lifetime friend or charity of your choice. Making a will is a simple process for most people. It will give you a peace of mind knowing that your family will not be troubled by the complexity or expenses if you die intestate (without a will). How much does a will cost? We will send you a Wills Questionnaire and prepare your draft Will from the answers you give us. A meeting will be arranged if required. We will incorporate any changes to the draft Will and finalise the document ready for signature. Our charges for a straightforward will are only £250 plus VAT for an individual and £350 plus VAT for joint wills. We will give you an estimate for more complicated wills involving detailed tax planning or the creation of trusts. How do I do it?
