Bespoke service
If, due to your individual circumstances, you require specialist advice which is not covered by our Basic, Standard or Asset Protection level of service then we can provide you with a bespoke service. This will include any advice relating to business assets, agricultural assets or complex estate planning issues.
It will also apply if you have assets of more than £1 million. If you intend to exclude family members from your Will, or if there are capacity issues then our bespoke service will also apply and our fixed fees will not be applicable.
If you opt for a bespoke service, we will provide you with an estimate of all costs at the outset and ask you to choose either an hourly rate or fixed fee pricing option. An initial payment on account will also be required to cover costs.
