So many people are superstitious when it comes to thinking about or writing a will. Although this is perhaps understandable the process of making a will is very straight forward, pain free and provides a great sense of satisfaction and relief once it has been completed.
Ensuring that you hold a valid will at the time of death – a will that is tax efficient, up to date, naming all of those loved ones you would want to benefit at the time of your death and appointing the people you want to administer your estate after death – is extremely important.
Despite what people think, it is also not an expensive process. All of our fees for the preparation of a will are fixed, the price is provided at the time of the first interview (or before) and there are no ‘hidden extras’. The cost of a single will, for which no inheritance tax is required is currently £210.00 inclusive of vat. The cost of mirror wills (2), for which no inheritance tax is required is currently £324.00 inclusive of vat.
We offer a service whereby we can visit you at your home or you can visit us at our office, to discuss your wishes, your requirements and your financial position; provide the necessary advice and suggest the type of will best suited to your needs. If you would prefer an initial meeting, to discuss matters before you make the final decision about how you would like your will prepared our fee for such a meeting is £200, again inclusive of vat.
As solicitors, of course, we are members of The Law Society and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Why not give us a call on 02920 470909 and ask to speak to Natalie Harvey for further information or an informal chat about the making of your will?
