What it costs
The fee is agreed in writing before any work starts, and it does not change unless you ask us to do something different and agree the new figure first.
Single will
Quoted on request
One will, one person. Includes the instruction meeting, the draft, one round of changes, the signing appointment and storage of the original.
Mirror wills, for a couple
Quoted on request
Two wills drafted together. Includes a joint meeting, separate instructions where either of you wants them, both drafts, the signing appointment and storage.

Property and financial affairs, or health and welfare. Includes advice on appointing attorneys, the document, signing in the correct order and registration.
Lasting powers of attorney, both types

Will including a trust
Quoted on request
Where a trust is recommended. Quoted individually once we know what the trust needs to do.
Review of an existing will
Quoted on request
We read the will you have and report on whether it still works. Credited against the cost of a new will if you decide to make one.
Things worth knowing
VAT
Prices are shown excluding VAT, which is charged at the prevailing rate, currently 20%.
The registration fee
Registering a lasting power of attorney with the Office of the Public Guardian carries a fee set by the OPG, payable in addition to ours. Reductions and exemptions are available on low income or certain benefits — we tell you if you qualify and help you claim it.
Home visits
We can take instructions at your home, or by telephone or video, across England and Wales. Tell us where you are and we will tell you whether a visit charge applies before you commit.
Fixed means fixed
The fee is agreed in writing before any work starts. It changes only if you ask us to do something outside what was quoted, and then only after we have told you the new figure and you have agreed it.
Probate
Estate administration is priced separately, because what it involves varies so widely. Our published price and service information for probate is on the pricing page, as the SRA Transparency Rules require.
