Services & Fees: Planning for Your Peace of Mind
✅ Why Choose Me?
Most solicitors handle a wide range of legal work.
I specialise purely in Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
That means you benefit from:
- Focused expertise built from doing this every day
- A more efficient and straightforward process
- Clear advice without unnecessary complexity
- A personal service from start to finish
“Good planning isn’t just about documents — it’s about getting things right for you and your family. I will spend the time to understand your situation, without the clock ticking.”
Everyone deserves the security of a well-drafted Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
Our founder, Steve Pett, brings over 25 years of experience to ensure your legacy is protected sensibly and affordably. His previous career as an Independent Financial Adviser adds extra depth to his advice.
Fees can be paid by most credit cards. A minimum of half the fee is payable on instruction, with the balance due once draft documents have been prepared.
Typical solicitor fees shown are based on local research (March 2026). Unlike many firms, I specialise entirely in Wills and LPAs and offer a more flexible, personal service.

Wills – Protecting Your Family and Assets
Family & Simple Wills
Single: £147 | Pair: £247
(Typical solicitor: £360 – £840)
Our most popular option. Ideal for straightforward family arrangements — leaving everything to each other, then to your children, including appointing guardians.
Standard Wills
Single: £175 | Pair: £295
(Typical solicitor: £360 – £840)
Suitable for slightly more complex situations or where you wish to include specific gifts to individuals or charities.
Trust Wills (Vulnerable Beneficiaries)
Single: £225 | Pair: £345
(Typical solicitor: £1,200 – £3,000)
Designed to protect beneficiaries who may be vulnerable or unable to manage money themselves — helping ensure your inheritance is used as intended.
Home Protection Wills – also for blended families
Single: £397 | Pair: £547
(Typical solicitor: £960 – £2,160)
Ideal for homeowners and blended families. Helps protect your share of the property for your chosen beneficiaries. Includes Land Registry checks and updates.
Strategic Tax Planning Wills
Single: £697 | Pair: £897

Flexible planning allowing your executors up to two years after death to manage your estate in a tax-efficient way. (Any additional research or complexity is always agreed in advance.)
Lasting Powers of Attorney (LPA)
Everyone over 18 should consider both types of LPA, Finance and Welfare. Without them, decisions fall to the Court of Protection, which can be slow and expensive.

- Four LPAs (couple): £597
(Typical solicitor: £350 / £600 / £1,200)

Note: A government registration fee of £92 per LPA is payable to the Office of the Public Guardian.
