Wills
For many people making a will is something that they put off. After all, not many people want to think about death.
Yet leaving no Will can create a great deal of additional work and expense for grieving families. It is also important to consider Inheritance Tax and planning for Care Home Fees.
At Warners we understand exactly the kind of problems the lack of a will can create. That is why we spend as much time as required to get a detailed understanding of each client’s personal circumstances and wishes to create exactly the right will for them.
Often clients also wish to draw up a Power of Attorney at the same time as making a will. For more information on Power of Attorney, please click here.
Our costs for preparation of wills and Powers of Attorney are set out below:
| Service | Fees | VAT | Registration Costs | Total |
| Single Will | £280.00 | £56 | £336.00 | |
| 2 x Wills for Couple | £475.00 | £95 | £570.00 | |
| Single POA | £345.00 | £69 | £96 | £510.00 |
| 2 x POAs for Couple | £460.00 | £92 | £192 | £744.00 |
| Single Will + Single POA | £562.50 | £112.50 | £96 | £771.00 |
| 2 x Couples Wills & 2 x Couples POAs | £841.50 | £168.30 | £192 | £1201.80 |
| Single Will Complex* | £400.00 | £80 | £480.00 | |
| Couple Will Complex* | £700.00 | £140.00 | £840.00 |
* A will can be considered complex for several reasons such as the family dynamic, for example where there are children from a previous relationship, or because of the value of your estate. Standard Wills are suitable for unblended families, those with assets in Scotland, those who don’t need IHT advice or Trusts, and those who require less than 6 legacies. If not, a Complex Will is perhaps a better option. Complex Wills are also required where there is an element of Care Home planning required.
Home or Hospital Visits
We understand that some of our clients may have limited mobility or be unable to attend an in-person meeting at our offices. Where we are able to do so, Warners offers home or hospital visits to ensure our services remain as accessible as possible.
Home visits can take time and preparation above and beyond what is required for a traditional meeting in the office. Please note that the charge for a home visit is separate to the fee for your Power of Attorney/Will, and if more than one visit is necessary to complete the process, each visit will be charged individually.
We will quote for your home visit once we understand the scope of work and the location of your home. We reserve the right to vary the fee if additional work or travel is required, and the final charge remains at the discretion of your solicitor. Please note, if you live outside of a reasonable catchment of our office at St Patrick Square, we may not be able to complete a home visit.
Please contact Lucy Taggart, Alison Gordon or Taylor James or telephone us on 0131 668 0470 to discuss your requirements more fully.
Alternatively, please complete this form and we will make contact with you.
