Four services, four from-prices, VAT shown. Each figure is the lowest fixed fee for that kind of work on its own, and says what it buys. Each link opens the Walkington page for that service: every fee, what happens in order, and how long it takes.

Powers of attorney done with a will take £150 off the fee, once, however many documents are made.

  1. Wills in Walkington

    Walkington is one of the East Riding's most affluent villages, with Georgian property and senior professionals alongside farming families. Estates cross the inheritance tax threshold once property and pensions are added, and the earlier that is looked at the more can be done about it.

    Mirror wills for a couple £550. A will with a trust in it £650, or £950 for a couple.

    from£350+ VATfor standard will, one person
  2. Lasting powers of attorney in Walkington

    Walkington is one of the East Riding's most affluent villages, and estates here usually mix property with investments. Investment decisions do not hold still, so the attorney named needs to be someone comfortable making them and prepared to keep records.

    Both for one person £800. Both for each of a couple £1,400. The Office of the Public Guardian charges £92 to register each document, paid at cost on top.

    from£550+ VATfor one lasting power of attorney, one person
  3. Probate in Walkington

    A Walkington estate is often property plus investments built over a senior career. Getting the tax account right on that mix takes longer than the grant does, and the two cannot be run the other way round.

    Aaron obtains the grant and you do the rest. Full administration from £3,000. The court’s £526 application fee is paid at cost on top.

  4. Trust and estate planning in Walkington

    Walkington trusts are usually about what happens after the first inheritance rather than the first one itself. Protecting what an adult child receives, if a marriage or a business goes wrong, is the reason people most often ask.

    Each piece of work is priced on its own. Planning alongside a will is £450 or £750. A lifetime trust is £1,500.
