Wills

Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney

When you own a house or have significant savings or investments it is advisable to have a professionally drafted Will although there are of course many other good reasons for putting a Will in place.

The cost of the Will is relatively small compared to the value of your assets, and using a Solicitor avoids the risk of making mistakes in a homemade Will. Our team of expert Will writers have been serving clients in East Anglia and beyond since 1988, establishing a strong reputation in the process. With us you can be confident that you will receive a prompt and precise service, ensuring that you have complete control over the division of your assets. Our Wills are backed up by professional indemnity insurance and we are fully transparent about our fees.

Wills do not have to be written in archaic legal language. We write Wills in plain English and we want the Will to be an expression of your personality. If you want your ashes scattered at sea so that in the next life you come back as a sea god or mermaid that’s what your Will should say. It is this level of personal attention and guidance which we believe sets our team apart, and makes us the ideal choice for anyone looking to write their Wills. We can also offer home visits and video conference calls if required.
