Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 DH and I have been very bad at getting our wills updated. We first did it when we bought our flat together and then redid them when we got married (well about 3 years later) as apparently the wedding had invalidated the wills. We have been meaning to re-do them since the arrival of DS since no provision is made for him in either will. They're not exactly mirror wills but at the moment they go along the lines of if I die and DH doesn't, he gets it all and if we both die our respective parents get it all. I did go to the trouble of asking 3 or 4 sets of people about being guardians if necessary a couple of years back and other than a regular bad conscience haven't got any further. How much do these things cost these days? A friend horrified me by saying her and her husband had just paid £600 for wills, but then he must be rolling in it since she doesn't work, they have a huge house and both kids are at private school. Hopefully charge a bit less for my measly savings. TIA Todman Treasurer, Stansted Branch (R5) Mum to , 3½ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 Dh usually charges about £50 for a single will and £70 for couples, provided they do not differ too vastly. You also have to take into account the complexity of the wills, such as whether trusts are needed, tax implications, etc., which would obviously increase the costs.
