Our solicitors in Henley offer a number of affordable packages to put a Will in place that suits your needs.
Wills
About 60% of adults in the UK do not have a Will in place, believing it’s something they’ll get to when they’re older. This ‘wait and see’ strategy is fraught with risk and could see loved ones being left out of your estate, as well as second guessing any last wishes you may have had.
What type of will do i need
We offer three different types of will, each of which is then tailored to your particular circumstances by our expert lawyers.
Basic Will
- Set out any funeral wishes
- Appoint the person (Executor) you wish to carry out your will.
- Appoint a Guardian (and substitute Guardian) to take responsibility for any children.
- Decide who gets what – leave gifts to friends, relatives or charities.
- Free lifetime storage (many firms charge an annual fee for this service).
- Free signing service (we provide independent witnesses to ensure your will is valid).
- If you’re a couple wishing to make identical wills (mirror wills) the fee is £480 (incl. VAT)
Advanced Will
- Everything in a standard will plus address more complex issues.
- Give a gift (e.g. your house) to a person for their lifetime only.
- Exclude people who would normally expected to be included (eg wife/husband or children).
- Provide for on-going care of a person with a disability.
- Planning for complex family arrangements including providing for someone going through a divorce.
- Protect your home.
- If you’re a couple wishing to make identical wills (mirror wills) the fee is £790 (incl VAT)
Bespoke Will
- Tailored to suit your needs – where you have more complex circumstances and requirements, you may benefit from more detailed advice on a bespoke will.
- If you have assets (including property) over the Inheritance Tax threshold (currently £325,000) you may benefit from more detailed advice on how to minimise the tax paid through your will. If you own a business this may also be a more suitable option for you.
