What we help with
Single and mirror wills, trusts, estate planning and probate support — done properly. Below is a working list — your situation may fit one or more. If you're not sure, ask. Initial conversations are confidential and rarely take more than a few minutes to clarify whether we're the right fit.
- Single and mirror wills (including blended families and business interests)
- Trusts within wills and basic inheritance-tax signposting
- Living wills (advance decisions) and funeral wishes
- Will reviews and updates after a major life event
- Grant of probate applications and executor support
- Safe storage of your will
What's typically included
- Plain-English initial review
- Written summary of your position
- Document drafting, correspondence and submissions
- Regular progress updates by phone/email
- Sign-off, completion or final order as required
- Court fees and disbursements (charged at cost)
- Counsel's fees if a barrister is needed
- Translation or expert reports
- Work outside the agreed scope (re-quoted in writing first)
What's not included (usually)
How the process usually runs
- Step 1. Fact-find — assets, family, wishes and any concerns
- Step 2. Draft documents sent to you to review at your own pace
- Step 3. Sign-up appointment, witnessing and safe storage
- Step 4. Optional review every 3–5 years or after a major life event
Indicative fees
Our typical starting point for wills & probate matters is £180. Single will. Mirror wills from £320. Complex estates quoted after a short fact-find. You'll always get a written quote before any work starts.
Where the scope is genuinely unpredictable (contested disputes, complex cases, multi-party negotiations) we'll quote an hourly rate or capped estimate and stick to it.
