FAQ
QUESTIONS FAMILIES ASK FIRST.Questions families often ask first.
Can you help if our family circumstances are complicated?
Yes. Many clients come to us because of second marriages, children from previous relationships, vulnerable beneficiaries, business interests, or concerns about future care. We will explain the options in plain English before any drafting begins.
Are your fees fixed?
Where the scope is clear, we confirm a fixed fee in writing before work starts. If a matter is more complex, we explain what could affect the price before you decide how to proceed.
Do you offer home visits or online appointments?
Yes. Consultations can usually take place by telephone, video call, or home visit, depending on your location and circumstances.
When should a lasting power of attorney be arranged?
It is sensible to arrange an LPA while you are well and able to make your own decisions. Leaving it too late can create delay and cost for family members at an already difficult time.
Can an existing will be reviewed?
Yes. A review is often useful after marriage, divorce, a house move, a new child or grandchild, a death in the family, or a significant change in assets.
