MORE COMPLEX WILLS

We can cater for any type of Will including Wills that reduce exposure to Inheritance Tax, Community Care charges and the disinheritance of children through re-marriage after first death.  As you can imagine the work and advice involved costs more than a family Will. We always give you full details before starting any work. These requests incur additional work for which we charge extra because ~  

1.  We have to gather extra information to ensure we are giving the correct advice, so an additional, more in depth application is required.

2.  It is usually the gift of something valuable outside the rules of intestacy which “special instructions” cater.   In order to cover potential contestation, an insurance policy is required, some of the cost of which is met by the client.

3. Due to the extra importance placed on the Will it must take priority over standard “Family Wills” and be processed and delivered within a strict time scale.

4. A special clause will have to be added to the Will.

5. To protect you, your next of kin and us we will take out a Professional Indemnity Policy every year for YOUR lifetime.

The charge for your "Special Instructions" will depend upon the size of the asset and the complexity of the work involved but generally will cost £40 - £550.  We will not complete any work without your prior approval.
