Wills & LPA Pricing
The responsibility of winding up your affairs can be eased for your family with careful Will planning. We can also guide you through the Power of Attorney process and assist you with the completion of the forms, the application to register the forms and any other enquiries or assistance you may require.
We offer competitive fixed fee prices for clients wishing to complete Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney with our experienced staff. By being able to offer fixed fee prices, Earl and Crocker are able to provide their clients with certainty and transparency so they know what they are paying from the outset.

We aim to send to you your draft Will within 2 - 3 weeks and after this, any adjustments can be discussed before the Will is signed. We can retain your Will free of charge once it has been signed or you can take the original for safe keeping elsewhere.
Lasting Power of Attorney
It is a good opportunity to review or consider powers of attorney when writing your Will. In our opinion, powers of attorney are more important than Wills because they make provision to look after our clients while they are alive.
We offer competitive fixed fee prices for clients wishing to complete Lasting Powers of Attorney with our experienced staff. By being able to offer fixed fee prices, Earl and Crocker are able to provide their clients with certainty and transparency so they know what they are paying from the outset.
To encourage clients to prepare powers of attorney at the same time as their Wills, we also offer package prices, making it more cost effective to ensure all client’s documentation at the same time.
The Office of the Public Guardian charge £82 (inclusive of VAT @ 20%) per form and this will be payable at the time the Lasting Powers of Attorneys are signed. Some clients might be eligible for fee remission and this can be discussed in our appointment.
