Thinking of making a new Will?
A Will is a legal document which determines the individuals who will benefit from your estate when you die.
If you do not have a Will in place then rules of the law of intestacy will apply which means that your estate may not end up in the hands of those you wish.
What is a Standard Will?
- Leaving a sum or a percentage of your estate to people or a charity
- Appointing guardians for your children
- Basic inheritance tax advice
- Recording your funeral wishes
What is a Complex Will?
- Dealing with business assets
- Trusts – for example a Discretionary Trust or Life Interest Trust
- Dealing with foreign assets
- Bespoke inheritance tax advice
- 10% charity exemption
- Increased number of legacies
For more information on Life Interest Trust Wills please see our Life Interest Trust article.
How much does a new Will cost?
- A standard single Will for one person £300 plus VAT
- Two standard Mirror Wills (ideal for a couple) £500 plus VAT
- For more complex Wills we offer either a fixed fee based on our base figure OR an hourly rate
