There aren’t many documents we will write in our lifetimes more important than the Will. This can be an incredibly sensitive topic, but one that can cause legal issues later down the line if not done properly.
There are several options available for getting this job done in Norfolk: you can pay a solicitor, use a Will Writing service or make use of a DIY Will Writing service online.
Some providers offer simpler services, such as questionnaires online, or short consultations used to form your Will, which can be useful for when the Will is uncomplicated and are almost always cheaper methods. However, if a Will is more complicated or you want complete peace of mind and confidence in how air-tight the Will is, it can be worth looking into solicitors, law firms and specific Will writing companies.
Age Space recommends that despite the financial investment, where possible it is worth paying for professional, comprehensive legal services from solictors to ensure the job is done correctly.
It is also worthwhile taking a moment to understand the different types of Wills available – something a solictor or other legal advisor will also be able to easily talk you through. They can range from a simple, standard Will that has straightforward instructions, to more complex ones involving more detail regarding the person’s estate. You can also arrange ‘Mirror Wills’, where Wills will be largely written the same, such as in the case of a spouse. All of these options will greatly vary in price.
Age Space has drawn up a list of some of the Will writing services available throughout Norfolk, alongside their contact details and an indication of cost where possible. When enquiring about Will making, it’s also worth asking if Will Storage or Estate Administration will be included in the price.
