Frequently Asked Questions About Making a Will
How much does it cost to make a will?
We offer fixed-fee will writing services so you know the cost in advance, with no hidden charges. Our prices start from £170, providing a clear and affordable option for those searching for cheap wills or low-cost will writing services, without compromising on quality or professional advice.
Do I need a solicitor or professional to make a will?
Although it is possible to prepare a will yourself, professional advice helps ensure the document is legally valid and reflects your wishes accurately. Errors or unclear wording can cause problems for family members later. Many people choose professional assistance for peace of mind, particularly where property, children, or more complex family arrangements are involved.
Can you visit me at home to prepare my will?
Yes. We offer home visits free of charge where this is more convenient, as well as telephone and video appointments if preferred. Many clients find it easier to discuss personal matters in their own home environment, particularly where documents need to be reviewed or family members are involved in the discussion.
How long does it take to make a will?
In many cases a will can be prepared within approximately 2 to 4 weeks from the date your instructions are taken. The exact timeframe depends on the complexity of your circumstances and appointment availability. We always aim to complete the process as efficiently as possible while ensuring everything is accurate and legally valid. Urgent arrangements may be possible where circumstances require.

What happens if I die without a will?
If someone dies without a valid will, their estate is distributed according to the legal rules of intestacy. These rules may not reflect personal wishes and can sometimes lead to unintended outcomes for family members. Making a will allows you to decide who benefits from your estate and who will deal with your affairs.
When should I update my will?
It is usually advisable to review your will if your circumstances change, for example after marriage, divorce, the birth of children or grandchildren, moving home, or significant financial changes. Regular reviews help ensure your will continues to reflect your wishes.
