Wills

We have over 40 years experience in both writing Wills and assisting in dispute resolution and settlements arising after a person has died. Working closely with you, we will ensure that your Will records your wishes clearly and precisely so that your affairs can be settled as you have instructed with as little hassle as possible after you die. What’s more, we strive to provide cost-effective services, supplying an estimate following our initial consultation. Our Will-writing rates are as follows:
  • Single Basic Will from £350 plus VAT
  • Basic Mirror Will from £400 plus VAT
  • Life interest Wills from £500 plus VAT
  • Severing Joint Tenancy – £150 Plus VAT
  • More complicated Wills will cost more – we can supply details after discussion.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Lasting powers of attorney are designed to enable a specific family member, trusted friend, or adviser to assist you in making and carrying out important decisions and tasks, should you become less able to do so yourself. It is important that you do not put this off if you feel that you may want them as you may not be able to make them if you start to lose mental capacity. We will advise you on all aspects of assigning LPAs, as well as assisting you in making them.

Our charges for drawing up and registering an LPA are usually £450, plus VAT and Office of the Public Guardian fees for one person (currently £92 per LPA). If you and your partner are appointing the same attorney(s), we can usually carry out your partner’s LPA for an additional £300 + VAT. If needed we are able to attend a client at home, the additional cost would be £150 + VAT within the Redditch area. Feel free to call and discuss LPAs with us or contact us online. We have many years experience in preparing these important documents and can guide you through the process to ensure common mistakes are avoided.
