Once we’ve received your final instructions, we aim to have your Will ready to sign within 14 days. If your situation is urgent, please tell us when you call and we’ll do everything we can to prioritise your matter.

If you die without a valid Will, your estate is distributed under the Intestacy Rules. These rules often don’t reflect what people actually want – for example, unmarried partners and stepchildren do not automatically inherit, and it can cause significant delays, costs and distress for the family left behind. Having a Will is the only way to make sure your wishes are followed.

You can, but DIY and online Wills are one of the most common reasons families end up in dispute or facing costly probate problems. Small mistakes such as missing signatures, unclear wording or the wrong witnesses can make a Will invalid. Because we are a regulated firm of solicitors, your Will is prepared properly, and our work is covered by professional indemnity insurance. It also costs less than most people expect.

Yes. If you can’t travel to our Melton Mowbray office due to age, illness or mobility, we can arrange a home visit by agreement. Just let us know when you enquire.

We offer free secure storage of your Will for as long as you wish, and we provide you with a copy for your own records. Your executors will be told where to find the original when the time comes.

We recommend reviewing your Will every three to five years, and any time your circumstances change – marriage, divorce, the birth of a child or grandchild, a house move, or a significant change in assets. Small updates can usually be made with a codicil; bigger changes may need a new Will.

We are a regulated firm of solicitors, not an unregulated will writing company. We deal with Wills, probate and family matters every day, and we offer transparent fixed fees, free storage, a 14 day turnaround and a warm, jargon free approach. Our Melton Mowbray office is rated as one of Leicestershire’s Best Solicitors 2025.
