Will Writing

Will Writing Solicitors in Bromley

A solicitor-drafted will is one of the most cost-effective pieces of legal protection most people will ever buy. We offer fixed-fee wills, mirror wills for couples, and more complex trust-based wills where the estate calls for them.

Why use a solicitor to write your will?

Off-the-shelf wills can work, but they can also fail to deal with second marriages, business interests, life policies, foreign assets, Inheritance Tax planning, or vulnerable beneficiaries — often with consequences only discovered after death, when it is too late. A solicitor drafts your will properly the first time and is professionally insured if anything goes wrong.

  • Are there particular items you want to leave to particular people?

  • Do you want to leave anything to charity?
  • Are there family situations the will needs to deal with carefully (second marriages, estranged relatives)?

Frequently asked questions

How much does a will cost?

A single will from a solicitor in the Bromley area typically costs in the £150–£400 range. Mirror wills for couples are usually a little more than one individual will. More complex wills — with trusts or significant tax planning — cost more. We will give you a fixed quote at the outset.

Where should I keep my will?

We can store the original will for you free of charge. You should let your executors know we hold it. Storing it at home runs the risk of loss, damage or destruction.

What happens if I die without a will?

Your estate is distributed under the statutory rules of intestacy. These can produce surprising and unwanted results — for example, unmarried partners and step-children typically inherit nothing under intestacy.

Are you SRA-regulated?

Yes. Legal services are provided by [Firm Name], authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority under SRA No. [SRA Number]. You can verify our regulation on the SRA register at sra.org.uk.

Do you offer a free initial enquiry?

Yes. We offer a free initial enquiry by phone or via our online form so we can understand your matter, explain how we can help, and outline likely costs before you commit. Please call [Phone Number] or use the enquiry form on this page.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the complexity of your matter. Where possible we work on fixed fees; otherwise we give you a clear written estimate at the outset and tell you straight away if anything changes. We will never present you with an unexpected bill.
