WILLS

WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO MAKE A WILL?

You can make a Will at any time, and it is a task on everyone’s to do list… usually right at the bottom! But there are moments in life when it suddenly becomes a priority, usually at pivotal moments such as buying a house, getting married, having a baby, or if you lose a loved one.

Any time is the right time to make a Will, so why not make it right now and tick that off the list for good?

The first consultation is free, and no obligation. In this meeting we will review your assets, discuss your family and personal circumstances, and review what you wish to happen to your assets if you were to pass away. I can then assess how that can be reflected in your Will.

Fees

At VTW Wills, I offer complete clarity in fees from the outset. When we have discussed what provisions are required in your Wills, I will be able to confirm immediately what the fees for the preparation of the Wills will be.

Standard Will with no trusts: Single Will £185 | Mirror Wills £265

Wills including a Property Trust: Single Will £285 | Mirror Wills £425

Wills including a Discretionary Trust or Disabled Beneficiary Trust: Single Will £345 | Mirror Wills £495

Severance of Joint Tenancy £95

(In some cases, when you wish to pass a share of your property in your Will to a person who is not the person who you own the property with, it may be necessary to complete a “severance of joint tenancy” in order for this gift to take place. This will be fully explained to you in our meeting.)

Process

Following our initial meeting, either by home visit or zoom, the process for the preparation of Wills is as follows:

I will write to you within 5 days of our meeting to confirm the instructions taken and the fees. I will ask in this letter that you confirm your approval of the instructions, and make payment.
Within 14 days of the confirmation that you wish to proceed, I will send you your draft documents.
When the draft Wills have been approved we can arrange for the Wills to be signed.
Will signings can be conducted by home visit where I will act as one witness to the signing of your Wills. You will need to arrange for a second witness to attend also. Alternatively I can post the printed and bound Wills to you for you to sign at your own convenience in the presence of 2 independent witnesses. I will send you clear instructions on the correct procedure for signing a Will.
