Do I need a solicitor to make a Will, LPA or when going through Probate?
Solicitors are not required to draft a Will, Lasting Power of Attorney or to take an estate through the Probate Process. We specialise exclusively in estate planning and probate and are fully trained and insured to prepare Wills, Trusts, and LPAs. Many clients prefer working with a dedicated specialist who offers clear pricing, personal service, and ongoing support.
Who will I actually be dealing with?
You’ll deal directly with us — Amberlie and Angus — from your first conversation through to completion. We don’t pass you between departments or call centres, and we don’t outsource your work unless absolutely necessary.
Can you explain things in plain English?
We take the time to explain your options clearly and answer any questions along the way. We believe you should fully understand your choices before making any decisions.
Do you offer home visits or online appointments?
We offer face-to-face appointments at home, as well as video and telephone consultations. We’ll always try to work in a way that’s most convenient for you.
How long does it take to make a Will or LPA?
Most Wills are completed within 1–2 weeks, depending on complexity and how quickly instructions are confirmed.
LPAs take longer due to mandatory registration with the Office of the Public Guardian, which is outside our control.
Can I update my Will in the future?
Your Will can be updated whenever your circumstances change, and Wills should be reviewed every 5 years. Clients with Lifetime Service packages benefit from unlimited updates.
Are your prices fixed?
Our pricing is transparent and fixed for standard services, with no hidden fees. Any additional costs are discussed and agreed with you in advance.
What is included in a Lifetime Service package?
Our Lifetime Services provide ongoing support, secure storage, updates, and practical help for you and your family — including discounts and capped probate fees depending on the package.

How long does probate take?
Every estate is different. Some estates can be completed within 12-18 months, while more complex matters may take longer. We’ll keep you informed at every stage and explain any delays clearly.
Can you help if a loved one has already passed away?
We are able to assist Executors and families after a death, whether you need help applying for probate, administering the estate, or simply understanding what to do next.
Are you insured and regulated?
We hold Professional Indemnity Insurance and are members of the Society of Will Writers (membership details provided once finalised).
Why choose Pure Legacy Ltd over a larger company?
We’re a family-run business focused on people, not volume. Our clients value having a consistent point of contact, compassionate support, and the reassurance of dealing with real people who take the time to care.
