We understand that talking about your Will, or the affairs of a loved one who has just died, are unsettling. We’ve lots of experience in helping people in these situations, and we are here to listen, advise and help you in a straightforward and sensitive way.
We have lots of involvement in dealing with people’s affairs and sorting out complicated family or financial situations. Our Head of Department – Yvonne Carratt – is an Associate member of the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners.
When it comes to our Will Writing Service, our fixed fee is the fee you pay. There are no nasty surprises and our fee includes the storage of your Will documents in our vaults.
Disbursements are costs/fees related to your matter that are payable to third parties. We handle the payment of disbursements on your behalf and this ensures a smoother process for you.
Our fees are fixed and include items detailed above, however there may be factors which would typically increase the cost of the fees. Where there is likely to be any additional cost, we will make sure you are informed of this at the earliest opportunity and a clear estimate of those extra costs will be provided.
Factors that may lead to an increase in cost include:
With every transaction there are key milestones, which may vary according to individual circumstances. Our fee will include these milestones and may be as follows:
On average estates which fall within this range are dealt with within 3 to 9 months. Typically, obtaining the grant takes 3 months. Collecting assets then follows and takes on average 3 to 6 weeks. Once this has been done, we can finalise the estate and distribute the assets.
The Probate Registry switched to a new computerised system in April 2019 and since its introduction there have been delays in the Registry issuing the grant. It is hoped these difficulties will be rectified by the Probate Registry in early course.
