how much does a will cost?
I'm not the cheapest and I'm not the dearest — I'm the one who'll do it properly and explain it clearly.
Fixed prices, agreed before I start. Every price includes a home visit anywhere within an hour of Worksop — daytime or evening.

what wills cost in the UK
So you can compare like with like.
There's no set price for a will in the UK. It depends on who writes it and how much is in it. As a rough guide:
- Online and DIY wills: free to around £150. Fine for the simplest cases, but nobody checks it's signed and witnessed properly, and that's the most common reason a will fails.
- Solicitors: often £200–£600 for a single will, and more once trusts are involved.
- Average spend: people spent an average of £287 on their will in 2025, according to Which?.
- Me: £149 for a single will, written at your kitchen table and explained line by line, with the signing done properly.
What changes the price is complexity, not paperwork. Trusts, a business, property abroad or inheritance tax planning all take more work. If you need any of those, I'll tell you the price before I start.
how much do mirror wills cost?
£249 for the two of you.
Mirror wills are two near-identical wills for a couple. Each of you leaves everything to the other, and then to the same people, usually your children. Mine are £249 for both, which is £49 less than two single wills, with the home visit included. Elsewhere they typically cost between £200 and £400. They're not just for married couples — they work for partners who live together too.
The catch is what happens later. Once one of you dies, the survivor can change their will, and if they remarry, the marriage cancels it. Your children can end up inheriting nothing. That'ssideways disinheritance, and a protective trust in your wills stops it. If that would help you, I'll explain why and quote for trust wills before you decide.
what every price includes
- A home visit, anywhere within an hour of Worksop. Evenings are fine.
- Time to talk it through properly. I don't rush you out of your own kitchen.
- Your documents drafted, then explained line by line before you sign.
- Signing and witnessing done correctly — the part people most often get wrong.
- A straight answer if you don't need something.
questions about price
how much does a will cost in the UK?
There's no set price. As a rough guide, online wills run from free to around £150, and a solicitor will often charge £200–£600 for a single will, more with trusts. Which? found people spent an average of £287 in 2025. My single will is £149, with a home visit included.
how much do mirror wills cost?
Mine are £249 for a couple — £49 less than two single wills — with the home visit included. Elsewhere, mirror wills typically cost somewhere between £200 and £400. If you need a protective trust in them, I'll quote that before I start.
why not just do an online will?
For a very simple situation it can be fine. The risk is that nobody checks it's signed and witnessed properly — the most common reason a will fails — and nobody asks the questions that matter, like what happens if your partner remarries.
do you charge for travel?
No. The home visit is included anywhere within an hour of Worksop. If you're further out, ask — I'll tell you straight away if there's a cost.
is the price fixed?
Yes. I tell you the price before I start, and that's what you pay. If something turns out to need more work, I'll say so before doing it — never after.
when do I pay?
When I deliver your draft documents — nothing up front. For more complex cases, I take 50% when I start and the rest when the drafts are delivered. I'll tell you which applies before I begin.
do I have to buy everything on the list?
No. Most people need a will and many need LPAs. The Executor Pack and storage are optional. If you don't need something, I'll tell you.
