Solicitor writing Wills - how long?

A single simple Will should cost around £70-90 and should, even allowing for the fact that solicitors move in perpetual slow motion, take around 14 days.

3 months is a LONG time to hear nothing: in that timescale I'd have expected to have a draft at least, for checking and correction. And do check: the first draft of mirror wills sent to my parents had obviously been copied for the 2nd will, so Dad was leaving things to himself ...
And check which will you are signing. The solicitor got my Dad to sign Mum's will and Mum to sign Dad's. Luckily we looked through the copies they were given and noticed it.0 -
