Wills & Codicils
A Will is a legal document that sets out how you would like your assets (your estate) to be distributed after your death. If drafted correctly, your Will can help your loved ones benefit from potential tax efficiencies while protecting the interests of minors, disabled, and vulnerable dependants.
A Codicil is used to make changes to an existing Will. This is commonly required following major life events such as marriage, divorce, or the birth/adoption of children or grandchildren.
The fees quoted below are for standard Wills and Codicils only. If your circumstances are more complex (for example involving trusts, business assets, or inheritance tax planning), additional fees may apply. We will always agree any additional costs with you in advance.
