Common questions
Good to know
How much will it cost?
Fee information to be supplied by Sofia — the SRA price transparency rules set out what must be published, and this wording needs to match it.
How long does it take?
It depends on the work. A straightforward will is often finished within a few weeks; probate applications take longer because they involve the court or the Probate Registry. We will give you a realistic timescale at the start.
Do I need to bring anything to the first appointment?
Photographic identification and proof of your address are needed before we can start work — we are required to check these. Beyond that, bring anything you think is relevant and we will tell you if we need more.
What if I am unhappy with the service?
Please tell us, and we will look into it properly. Our complaints procedure explains how, and what to do if you are still not satisfied.
