Back in 2018 I did a deal with my solicitor, whom I know. Probably not ‘mates rates’, but she prepared new wills for both myself and old mum, in addition to the financial P of A. I’ll have the invoice somewhere, but suspect it was a four figure sum for the three lots of paperwork.
My will, the first of which I made in my 20’s with regular updates, was relatively straightforward. My mother’s could be construed, in part, to be quite contentious, so the two of them spent time privately discussing possible future ramifications and notes were duly prepared with explanations as to why, should it be contested. Fore warned and all that.
I was also given sound advice as to apportionment of my estate for when I croak.
I contacted my solicitor this AM..quick reply was that to prepare the Health P of A would cost me £450 inc vat, plus the £82 fee. I’ll probably do it myself.
