Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a will-writing service cost?
Will-writing fees vary by complexity. Simple wills typically range from £150 to £300, while more complex estates may cost £500 or more. Foster Legal provides transparent pricing and clear explanations to match each client’s needs.
How many copies of a will should be signed in the UK?
At least three original signed copies are recommended: one for the executor, one for storage in a safe, and one for records. Foster Legal oversees proper signing and advises on secure storage to prevent loss or challenge.
Who is the best person to draw up a will?
A qualified solicitor ensures legal validity and clarity. Foster Legal’s wills team brings expertise, secure processes, and peace of mind to clients seeking reliable estate planning.
Can a will be changed after it’s signed?
Amendments must go through a formal process called a codicil or require a full will rewrite to remain valid. Foster Legal provides codicil services and full redrafts to reflect life changes accurately.
What happens if someone dies without a will?
If no valid will exists, estate distribution follows UK intestacy rules, which may not reflect the deceased's wishes. Foster Legal guides families through probate and assists in formalising estates efficiently.
