Sweet release.

That's on her gravestone no?

Just been quoted £350 plus VAT with a local company for the two Wills (married couple) on the basis that the Wills contain similar provisions.

I have you know I've never had a complaint from Mrs Mac.

She's been very quiet since she died

Here lies Mrs Mac. She had a lucky escape.

vs. Contractor rates being about £300 per day to do fa

EDIT: my point being it amuses me that contractors like to be well-paid professionals, yet whine when they need to use the services of well-paid professionals, such as dentists, accountants and lawyers.

Aye but with a contractor you get a contractor doing the work but with a solicitor you pay for a solicitor and a 17 year old spotty oik on minimum wage does the work...

Well, yes, but that's because we know what a bunch of amateurish charlatans we are and assume that other well paid professionals are just googling for the answers like what we do.

I need to make a will out and was wondering if I can use an online service, a WHS Smith pack or whether it's best to get a solicitor in? How did you lot do it?

I used the search first to see if anyone else had asked & they had but it was such a poor quality thread I thought it best to ask it again.

The wife and I used Willwriting Service Limited.

The wife and I used Willwriting Service Limited.

Did that involve travelling anywhere or someone coming out to you - also did you get the witnesses yourself?

I need to find someone in cloggers, we're looking at buying a house over here and with the house in blighty as well.

Though its not going to be cheap if the notary that reviewed my last contract is anything to go by, at least €800
