From defining your wishes to discussing tax options
No one likes to think about their death and what they’d want to happen to their assets. Sadly, dying without a properly drawn will can cause a great deal of wasted time, unnecessary expense and heartache, as well as hassle from disputes that could easily be avoided. And there are the potential inheritance tax implications to consider, too.
Our service takes you through all the relevant things you need to think about as well as drawing up a will that really reflects your wishes. We can help whether you need a single will for a modest estate, or if your affairs are more complex with both personal and business assets to consider.
Many people avoid paying for a will by using other methods, but often this can be a false economy – we’d be happy to explain to you why.

I found Alex very professional & amicable always available, pleasant to deal with would use again if needed.
Dealt with Alex Jenkins who is always a pleasure to deal with. Very approachable and extremely knowledgeable. Answered all my questions and gave me the advice I needed so many thanks
Alex Jenkins was very very helpful because I had recently had a bad fall and wasnlt mobile. She helped me.
Mine was a very lengthy and complicated case involving deputy ship for my Father’s financial affairs, and Probate following my Father’s death. Costs were high, as they always are with solicitors, but the service by Alex Jenkins and Edward Lee of Wollens, who dealt with my Father’s affairs, was very personal and much needed at a very traumatic time.
All my services with Wollens has been satisfactorily, efficiently and pleasantly completed with no meetings or on line contact. It has all had to be remotely done. Solicitors Mrs Alex Jenkins and secretary Enya Garrett handled my previous Will, and with Solicitor Jaime Denega and secretary Jodie Neish were involved in completing my part of a Discretionary Trust.
Excellent, personable and professional service, from my first enquiry to the completion and the signing of the will. Thank you.
