The cost of a will depends on how straightforward your circumstances are and whether you need any additional estate planning advice. At Liberty Estate Planning, a simple will for one person costs £250. A will for an individual that includes trust planning, inheritance tax planning or asset protection measures costs £500.
Mirror wills are two wills, usually made by a couple, with similar intentions. At Liberty Estate Planning, mirror wills cost £450. If a couple needs wills that include trust planning, inheritance tax planning or asset protection measures, the cost is £800.
At Liberty Estate Planning, a single lasting power of attorney costs £325. This covers either a Property and Financial Affairs LPA or a Health and Welfare LPA, excluding third-party fees. A double lasting power of attorney for one individual, covering both types, costs £500, excluding third-party fees.
There is also an Office of the Public Guardian registration fee of £92 per LPA document. GOV.UK states that registering both a personal welfare LPA and a property and affairs LPA costs £184 in total.
For a couple, the cost depends on the documents and advice needed. At Liberty Estate Planning, mirror wills cost £450. Wills for a couple including trust planning, inheritance tax planning or asset protection measures cost £800. If a couple creates wills and both types of lasting power of attorney at the same time, Liberty Estate Planning currently offers a 10% discount, excluding third-party fees.
Third-party fees are costs charged by external organisations, rather than Liberty Estate Planning. These may include Office of the Public Guardian registration fees, court fees, probate fees, creditors’ notices or estate searches, depending on the work required. Liberty’s price list includes an Office of the Public Guardian registration fee of £92 per document, a Court of Protection application fee of £421, creditors’ notice costs of £392.76, and estate search costs of £300 plus VAT.
For probate, GOV.UK now states that the application fee is £526 for estates valued over £5,000, with no application fee for estates valued at £5,000 or less. Extra copies of the probate document cost £2 each when ordered with the application, or £16 each if requested after the application has been submitted.
Yes. Liberty Estate Planning’s listed prices are inclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. Some third-party fees are separate and may be payable in addition to Liberty Estate Planning’s fees.
