We are governed by the Society's Code of Practice, so you can expect clear advice, fair dealing and properly drafted documents.
We come to you
Home visits are available across the area, so you can talk things through in comfort and in your own time.
Hand delivered, never posted
Your finished documents are hand delivered for signing, not sent in the post, so nothing important goes astray.
How it works
A simple, unhurried process
Step 1: Get in touch
Tell us a little about your situation and we will arrange a time to talk that suits you.
Step 2: We meet and listen
At home or wherever is easiest, we go through your wishes, your family and your assets, and answer your questions.
Step 3: We prepare your documents
Your will or other documents are drafted around what you have told us, in clear language.
Step 4: Hand delivered for signing
We bring your documents to you for signing, rather than posting them, and make sure everything is properly witnessed.

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often.
Wills
Mirror wills or single wills: which is right for you?
The difference between mirror wills and single wills, who each suits, and the situations where a mirror will is not enough.
Wills
What happens if you die without a will in England and Wales
How the intestacy rules work, who inherits and in what order, and who is left out entirely.
Common questions
Things people often ask
Do I really need a will?
If you want to decide who inherits what, who looks after your children and who deals with your affairs, yes. Without a will the law decides for you under the intestacy rules, and the result is often not what people expect.
Can you come to my home?
Yes. Home visits are available across Norfolk and Suffolk. Many people find it easier to talk about these things in their own surroundings.
Are you regulated?
We are members of The Society of Will Writers and work to the Society's Code of Practice, which sets standards for advice, drafting and how members deal with clients.
