These fees are based on what we view as a straightforward Will. We will discuss your requirements with you at the outset and if we determine that your matter is more complex or will require more work we will agree an estimate with you based on our standard hourly rates.
Once work has been started, we reserve the right to charge you for work already undertaken should you decide not to proceed.
Will Review Service
Even if you already have a Will it is important to carry out regular reviews, particularly if there has been a change in your personal or financial circumstances (for example you get married or divorced, have children or start living with a new partner.)
We can help you regularly review your Will to ensure it is still valid and that it accurately reflects your current circumstances.
