Writing a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones. It ensures your estate is distributed exactly as you intend, avoids unnecessary disputes, and provides peace of mind for your family. Without a valid Will, the rules of intestacy decide how your estate is divided- and that may mean those closest to you miss out, or that your family faces unexpected tax liabilities.
With a properly drafted Will, you can:
-
Appoint trusted executors to manage your estate.
-
Leave specific gifts, such as cash, possessions, or property, to chosen individuals.
-
Nominate guardians for your children or dependants.
-
Protect your family home, allowing a partner to remain while ensuring it passes to your chosen beneficiaries.
-
Express funeral wishes, making arrangements easier for your family.
Our solicitors take time to understand your circumstances and priorities. Whether you need a straightforward single will or complex estate planning, we ensure every detail is secure and legally watertight.

-

Mirror Wills for a couple — £600 + VAT

Dealing with probate after losing a loved one can feel overwhelming. Probate is the legal process of managing and distributing a person’s estate, including securing a Grant of Probate, settling debts, paying inheritance tax, and transferring assets.
Our probate solicitors in Kent and London provide sensitive, efficient support to executors and families, helping you:
-
Apply for probate quickly and correctly.
-
Manage tax and financial obligations.
-
Distribute assets fairly and lawfully.
We make the process as smooth as possible, easing the burden at a time when you should be focused on family, not paperwork.
A lasting power of attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make important decisions if you ever become unable to do so yourself. There are two types of LPA:
-
Health and Welfare LPA- covering medical treatment, care decisions, and daily routines.
-
Property and Financial Affairs LPA- covering banking, property, pensions, and financial management.
We prepare and register LPAs to ensure your wishes are respected and your interests protected. For those with older enduring powers of attorney, we can advise on whether replacing them with LPAs offers stronger safeguards.
Fixed fees:
- Single LPA (one person, one type: Property & Financial or Health & Welfare) – £500 + VAT
- Single LPA (couple, one type each) – £1,000 + VAT
- Double LPA (one person, both types: Property & Financial and Health & Welfare) – £1,000 + VAT
- Double LPA (couple, both types each) – £2,000 + VAT
(Includes drafting, advice, and registration support)
Drafts are prepared within a week, and once signed, submitted to the Office of the Public Guardian. Registration currently takes around eight to ten weeks.
