How much will it cost?
An explanation of the way in which
costs are charged will be supplied to
each client and estimates will be
provided whenever possible as to the
likely total cost. The costs charged will
typically increase in line with the
length of time required to complete a
matter. There are fixed fees for simple
Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney.
How the service works
We will always endeavour to meet the client
and take full instructions to ensure that all
needs of that client are known. The
department contains several fee earners,
one of whom will have day to day control of
the client's file. Overall responsibility for
each file will rest with the Partner in the
department.
