Meticulous Will Solicitors
Wills detail your last wishes upon death. While DIY wills can cover simple estates, most of us do not lead simple lives, and the complications of modern life such as divorce, running a business or simply accumulating assets can mean self-written wills may not suffice. Our will solicitors in Brighton and Hove have extensive experience of both inheritance tax and will writing, and ensure your estate is distributed the way you want.
Our expertise covers:
Our simple will writing service covers small and simple estates, including basic trusts, and inheritance tax advice, if applicable. If you have been married once and are looking to pass everything to your spouse and children, a simple will is sufficient. Our will solicitors will always offer the same comprehensive advice, whether your will is simple or complex.
Contesting a Will / More information
Being left out of a will can feel unfair, and whether you are fending off a claim to your part of an estate, or wish to lodge a claim against one, our will dispute solicitors can help. We’re experienced in dealing with contentious probate, will disputes, claims under the Inheritance Act and trust disputes.
Mirror Wills / More information
Suitable for couples, mirror wills are two wills that name each other as the beneficiary in the event one passes away. Our will solicitors can either use an existing will from either person, or draft you both new mirror wills from scratch.
Complex Wills
If others would say you live a complicated life, you probably need a complex will. Children from a previous marriage, family heirlooms, having a business, or grandchildren you suspect may squander their portion of your hard-earned estate are the makings of a complex will. Our will solicitors can write a will to enshrine your wishes and make sure your assets pass on as efficiently as possible.
Will Amendments and Codicils
Will amendments and codicils come with a raft of risks and peculiarities. Our will solicitors can advise how to best proceed if you are thinking of changing your will.
Trusts are a broad and highly bespoke area of will writing which entrust an asset, or assets to a trustee or trustees, to distribute as per your wishes, or to decide themselves how best to proceed. Our will solicitors can advise on trusts bespoke to your situation.
Inheritance Tax and Wealth Structuring / More information
Taxes must be paid on everything and inheritances are no different. If you have particularly valuable assets and know you will exceed the £325,000 threshold for inheritance tax, our will solicitors can advise on how to efficiently pass down assets to your beneficiaries.
Bloodline Wills/ More information
Naming your children in your will doesn’t automatically ensure they inherit your assets. Bloodline wills ensure your assets stay in your family line and are not distributed, inadvertently or otherwise, to others.

Wills Explained
Our will solicitors in Brighton and Hove adopt a methodical approach to will writing to ensure each will we produce adheres to your exact wishes. Whether you are looking to pass down your prized pen, or a multinational family business, our will solicitors treat your will the same care and respect.
Why Do You Need a Will?
Wills ensure your possessions and assets go to the people you want them to. If you are cohabiting with a partner but are not married, have children from a previous marriage and want to provide for them, or grandchildren you would like to dote on after death, your assets won’t automatically pass to them unless you make provisions in your will. Our will solicitors offer expert advice on all areas of wills and trusts to ensure your will meets your needs.
Why Use a Will Solicitor?
Wills do not have to be written by will solicitors. However, our will solicitor offer a comprehensive service including a detailed will questionnaire, a one hour consultation, and further calls to ensure the drafted will fulfills your needs. We take into account all of the following as a minimum when drafting a will:
- Ensuring the will is legally valid and can be executed
- Your mental capacity to make a will and that you are doing so of your own free will
- Providing for additional beneficiaries if those named die before you
- Whether you have been divorced and have any children from previous marriages
- Unsolicited challenges from dependants and ex-partners
- Structuring assets properly to reduce inheritance tax liabilities
- Any overseas assets or property
We are also happy to act as executors of your will, offer free storage at our offices in Brighton and Hove, and free registration of your will on the National Will Register so your will can always be located. We are also regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, so in the unlikely scenario that you are unhappy with your will, you can complain and have it re-drafted.
How Much Is a Will?
Britton and Time’s will solicitors charge from £400 plus VAT for a simple will, and from £600 plus VAT for a complex will and you can expect to have your drafted will with you within 5 working days. We never ‘bump up’ costs if you don’t need a complex will.
