The majority of our Wills are drafted on a fixed fee basis depending on the complexity of the Will. If you have a bespoke Will request or require a complex Will structure, or if you need a Will drafting within a particularly tight timeline (for example a deathbed Will) then these will be completed on an hourly rate basis. There may be additional charges to third parties such as the Land Registry in some circumstances.
