Wills

Clive, due to a recent change of circumstances, I need to look at a will.

My solicitors, who I am very happy with, have quoted me £400 for the will, which includes executing the will for nothing, when the time comes.

Of course whether they will still be around when I die is another matter, but does that sound like a reasonable price?

I hope you don't mind my interjecting here, but that sounds wrong.

£400 is a reasonable price (well, actually, a bit on the steep side for most). But storing the will for the rest of your life, then acting as the executor for free? Give over. Either it's a lie and you need to spend on something else, or it is bad business and they won't be there.
