Pricing

Wills

Pricing for Wills depends on the type of Will you require and your individual situation. I offer:

• Simple wills: Ideal for single individuals wishing to set out straightforward instructions for their estate.
• Mirror wills: Designed for couples, these wills reflect each other’s terms, ensuring both parties’ wishes are aligned and clearly set out.
• Wills containing trusts: Such as a property trust, life interest trust or discretionary trust. These offer added protection, such as safeguarding your assets from care fees, providing for vulnerable children, or preserving your family’s inheritance.

Whatever your needs, I’ll clearly guide you through the process and provide transparent pricing from the outset.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Please be aware, for Lasting Powers of Attorney:

• In addition to my fees, there is a registration fee for each document which is currently £82 per LPA.
• The fees are rising to £92 for applications received by OPG from 17 November 2025.
• Remission/exemption on fees may be available by income/benefits.

Deputyship Order application

Please be aware, for Court of Protection Deputyship Orders:

• The fees for applying for a Property and Financial Affairs Deputyship Order can be recovered from the estate if successful. This is not the case for a Health and Welfare Deputyship Order.
• In addition to my fees, the Court of Protection charges £421 per type of order (you pay twice if applying for both types).
• If the Court requires a hearing (this can happen where there is some dispute or matter to be discussed), the fee is £259. I do not represent clients at hearings.
• You will need to request that a medical or healthcare professional complete form COP3 for you which assesses the person’s capacity. They may make a charge for this which is beyond my control. Often it is around £50, but it could be more.
• The OPG charges a new‑deputy assessment fee of £100.
• There is an annual supervision fee of £320 (general) or £35 (minimal, some finance deputies under £21k).
• There is a security bond (surety) premium required for Property and Financial Affairs deputies. Premium depends on the security level set by the court and provider. Often this is roughly £50 – £500 p.a. depending on estate size/security.
• Help with Court fees may be available.

Business LPA

Please be aware, for Business Lasting Powers of Attorney:

• Package pricing is usually available where several Directors or Partners are making a Business LPA at the same time.
• If you are operating in a regulated sector, there is typically far more steps needed (for example board minutes, resolutions or compliance approvals), and I will agree a bespoke fixed fee first.

Cohabitation agreement

Please be aware for cohabitation agreements, that while you can draft the terms as a couple, I am only advising one party. The other party must get independent legal advice on the final agreement for it to be binding.

Statutory Will

Please be aware for Statutory Wills:

• In addition to my fees, there is a court fee for the application of £421 application.
• A doctor or healthcare professional will need to complete form COP3 and may charge for doing so. Typically fees are around £50 but this is beyond my control.
• A genealogist report may need to be commissioned if unknown relatives stand to inherit (e.g. long lost cousins).
• If a hearing is needed, the hearing fee is £259. I do not represent clients at hearing.
• My fees are for a straightforward, uncontested application.

Inheritance tax consultation

Includes fact finding consultation, comprehensive report and reasonable follow up correspondence.

Business legal support

All business legal support matters are quoted for individually.

Please note:

• These fees are illustrative. Sometimes matters are more complex. I reserve the right to offer an alternative quotation at the outset.
• These fees are not an offer. I reserve the right to accept or reject work at my discretion, for example if I believe that I am not the best person to advise you or cannot offer an appropriate level of service, as required by my obligations to the SRA and CILEX.
• I reserve the right to change my fees from time to time and will update this page. However, your fees will always be as agreed with you at the outset.
