How much should a will cost?

Hope someone can help with this.....I'd like to have an idea of how much it costs to have a will drawn up which would include assigning power of attorney.

  • Prices for Wills do vary as you could go to a Solicitor for this or a Will drafting company.

    As a rough guide, £100-150 for what you have requested should cover it easily

    I know you can have it done for between £0- £13.
    Barclays have a will writing service which is free with the Additions plus account holders .
    If you open an account take up the will offer and then close the account.
    Have a look.

    Did mine online for about £40 but it was fairly simple - no power of attorney, but at least checked out by a qualifed solicitor.

    You can also get a diy kit which costs about £20 or a series of templates on a software CD.
