Setting up a will or updating an existing will
What is the cost of a will?
The cost of making a basic Will (All prices inclusive of VAT) with us is broken down as follows:
Single Will = £450 Inc VAT (Tailored Meeting + Preparation Fee).
Couples Will = £600 Inc VAT (Tailored Meeting + Preparation Fee).
Your Will Preparation fee is included above at £150. You can choose to only have a tailored meeting at £300 before deciding to proceed with the Will preparation.
More complex Wills incorporating multiple gifts, Trusts or Tax planning can cost more depending on the type of trust. As a guide for making a Will and Trust together you will be looking at costs in excess of £800. We will be able to assess the overall costs of your Will at our initial meeting.
Our fees for making a Will include storage.
