Our fees made clear

We understand that the law around Wills and Probate can be complicated so we will go through the whole process and explain each stage, listening to your needs and wishes every step of the way.

We are upfront about costs and will work with you to ensure the best possible outcome for your estate.

We work with a number of organisations to reduce or waive the cost of a will, usually in return for a donation to charity.  We offer free advice through several legal clinics – visit our Wills and charity schemes page to find out more.
