Deciding who will write your will
Whilst we understand that it seems easier and cheaper to write your will yourself we would always recommend consulting a professional.
A professional will ensure that all the legal formalities are correctly followed and that your Will is valid. A valid Will gives you peace of mind that your exact wishes will be carried out the way you intended.
Using a Solicitor
The cost of using a solicitor varies depending on how complicated your Will is and where in the country you live. The solicitor should make it clear from the start how much they will charge.
Using a professional Will Writer
Professional Will writers are another option, but they are currently less regulated than solicitors. It is important to check that they belong to a professional body and follow a code of conduct.
Using a Bank
Many high street banks are also able to assist with Will writing. Please contact your local branch for further information.
