Common questions

What happens during the free initial consultation?+

It is a relaxed first conversation about your circumstances and what you want to achieve. We explain relevant options and likely fees before you decide whether to proceed.

What if I’m not sure which service I need?+

That is completely fine. Start with the outcome you want and we will help you understand which arrangements may be appropriate.

Can you review an existing Will?+

Yes. A review can identify whether it still reflects your wishes, particularly after a major life event.

Can you store my Will safely?+

Yes. Secure storage helps protect the signed original and makes it easier for the right people to locate later.
