The price will vary depending on how you decide to prepare your Will. Basic DIY or online templates can cost as little as £20, while solicitor-prepared mirror Wills typically average around £500, depending on complexity and location. At Heirkin Estate Planning, we keep things simple with transparent, fixed fees including VAT: £99 for a single Will or £179 for mirror Wills.
Solicitors are able to give legal advice, but many do not specialise in Wills and may use complicated legal language. They also tend to operate strictly within office hours, which can be inconvenient. Heirkin Estate Planning offers flexible home-visit appointments at times that suit you — including mornings, evenings, and weekends — and our specialists explain everything clearly and without jargon. All fees are fixed and confirmed upfront.
Will allows you to set out what happens to your assets, such as savings, property, personal belongings, and any jointly owned items (which require agreed instructions). Items held in trust, like certain pensions or life insurance policies, are usually not included. In your Will, you can appoint executors, choose beneficiaries, name guardians for children, and include trusts or specific wishes. Heirkin Estate Planning can also assist with Lasting Powers of Attorney and provide ongoing support through our membership services.
Not necessarily. There are DIY and online Will-writing kits that may be suitable for very simple circumstances. However, these options offer limited guidance and it’s easy to make mistakes that could impact your family later. Working with a professional like Heirkin Estate Planning ensures your wishes are clearly and correctly documented.
At Heirkin Estate Planning, we put you in control of life’s most important decisions. Our services are designed to safeguard your family’s future, protect your assets, and give you peace of mind for generations to come.
