All Our Services Explained
A will protects your children, your family, and your property. If protecting those
you love and your property is a concern to you then you need to make a will.
We offer our ‘Home-Visit will Writing service’.
If you already have a will then ask yourself ... ‘How sure are you that is it up-to-date,
it does not contain any errors or omissions, and will not trigger any unwanted fees
or costs in the future.
Our ‘Will-Check’ service will comprehensively review your existing will, giving you
either renewed confidence in your present will, or a plan of action to correct the
situation.
No one really likes to think about loosing the capacity to make decisions, or the
ability speak, but you should. Planning now can make life so much easier for those
who will have to make decisions on your behalf, and allow you some control over who
makes those decisions for you, and also what conclusions they should come to when
making those decisions.
- A ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ enables you to appoint someone to make decisions on
your behalf.
- A ‘Living Will’ (sometimes called an ‘Advance Directive’) allows you to give specific
instructions to your doctors should you ever be unable to communicate your own wishes.
Other services we provide include:
- ‘Severance of tenancy’: Severing your property’s tenancy is sometimes recommended
as part of our advice when making a will. If you follow our advice then it is charged
as an extra service. We also oversee Title Registration at the Land Registry.
- Creating ‘Expression of Wishes’: these are created to support the content of your
will in certain cases. Depending upon the complexity we may ask for a small fee.
- ‘Will Storage’: Your will should be kept in a safe place, and where your executors
know it is held. Only where necessary do we offer will storage facilities - using
a number of recognised storage facilities.
- ‘Attestation’ i.e. Signing and witnessing a will: All wills need to be signed and
witnessed and we are pleased to offer this service. Where we have drafted a will
for you this service is usually included in the price. Where we have to travel excessive
distances, or we have not drafted your will for you, then we charge a small fee to
cover our costs.
- ‘LPA Certificate provider’: Each and every LPA must have a certificate provider.
Where we supply a LPA (Lasting Power of Attorney) then we normally act as the certificate
provider; our fees for doing so are incorporated into our pricing. If you want to
make your own LPA but cannot find anyone prepared to act as a certificate provider
then we may be able to help - for a small fee. Many people do not like to take on
this role.
