Frequently asked questions

How much does a will cost?+

A simple single or mirror will is usually a fixed fee. More complex estates involving trusts, business assets, or inheritance tax planning are quoted individually after a short consultation, so you know the price before any drafting starts.

Do I need probate?+

It depends on the size and make-up of the estate. Property held solely in the deceased person's name and larger bank balances usually require a grant of probate. Your lawyer can confirm quickly whether probate is needed and handle the application for you.

Can I contest a will?+

You may be able to challenge a will on grounds such as lack of capacity, undue influence, or if you were financially dependent on the person who died. Time limits apply, so it is worth taking early advice in a short consultation.
