Further information
Solicitor appointments are limited and will be spread throughout the year, depending on availability. Registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to Dorset Wildlife Trust members. We will try to accommodate your preferred choice of solicitor and branch. However, it may be necessary for an alternative to be offered to you.
Appointments will take place face-to-face, at your allocated solicitor's office.
Your appointment will be at a discounted rate, the cost of which will be payable by you. Rates are as follows and your solicitor will contact you directly regarding payment, once your appointment has taken place:
Battens: Single will = £120; mirror will = £170. Single codicil = £60; mirror codicil = £90.
Blanchards Bailey: Single will = £120; mirror will = £170. Single codicil = £60; mirror codicil = £90.
Kitson & Trotman: Single will = £140; mirror will = £190. Single codicil = £60; mirror codicil = £90.
The above rates will apply, provided you are writing a simple individual or mirror will. A ‘simple’ will involves the following: appointment of executors; appointment of guardians for minor children; specific gifts or legacies to friends, family or charities; stipulation of funeral wishes; and distribution of the residue of the estate (i.e. after payment of all funeral expenses and debts to family, friends or charities).
It may be necessary for your solicitor to make an additional charge for including a trust in a will, if this is desired. Any additional fees will be defined by your drafting solicitor and discussed with you upfront.
