Protect Your Estate With a Professionally Drafted Will
A professionally drafted will ensures your estate passes to the right people, in the right way. We explain every option before you commit — and confirm costs in writing before any work begins.
Your will is drafted by a qualified solicitor who understands your circumstances and can advise on the implications of every decision — not an online template service.
No obligation — talk through your options first. Costs explained clearly.
Why a solicitor-drafted will matters
A will drafted by a qualified solicitor is less likely to be challenged, misinterpreted, or fail to achieve your intentions. Online will-writing services and DIY wills frequently contain errors that only become apparent after death — when it is too late to correct them.
Single wills
A single will setting out your wishes for your estate, guardianship of children, and funeral arrangements. Drafted to reflect your specific circumstances.
Mirror wills
Mirror wills for couples — each leaving their estate to the other, with provisions for what happens if you both die simultaneously or the survivor remarries.
Wills with testamentary trusts
A will that creates a trust on death — protecting assets for vulnerable beneficiaries, minor children, or where you want to control how and when assets are distributed.
Property and business wills
Wills dealing with property held as tenants in common, business interests, agricultural property, and assets requiring specialist structuring.
What your will should cover
Executors
Who you appoint to administer your estate. We advise on the responsibilities involved and whether professional executors are appropriate.
Beneficiaries
Who inherits your estate and in what proportions. We advise on the implications of different structures — including what happens if a beneficiary predeceases you.
Guardianship
If you have minor children, your will should appoint a guardian. We advise on the legal effect of this appointment and how to structure it.
Trusts and conditions
Whether any part of your estate should be held on trust — for example, for minor children, a vulnerable beneficiary, or to protect assets from a future relationship.
Thinking about inheritance tax?
Your will is one part of a wider estate planning picture. If your estate may be subject to inheritance tax, we can advise on structuring your will alongside a tax planning strategy.

A will protects what happens after you die. A Lasting Power of Attorney protects you while you are alive if you lose mental capacity. Many clients put both in place at the same time to ensure consistent planning and fewer future disputes.

Protect your estate after death and your choices during life — in a single, joined-up appointment.
Combined cost saving
Instructing us for both your Will and LPA at the same time is more cost-effective than two separate appointments. Ask us for a bundled fixed-fee quote.
One process, not two
We gather your instructions, circumstances, and wishes once — saving you time and reducing the back-and-forth of two separate engagements.
Consistent, joined-up planning
Your Will and LPA are drafted to work together — the same attorneys, executors, and wishes reflected consistently across both documents.
What the bundle covers
Timeline saving
LPA registration with the Office of the Public Guardian currently takes around 20 weeks. Starting your Will and LPA together means both are in place sooner — and you only need to go through the instruction process once.
