Third-party costs such as court and registration fees are listed with each service. Regulated work (trust wills, probate, trust and estate administration) carries a small onboarding fee for the matter and an identity check for each person. Standard wills and powers of attorney do not. It is confirmed before any work starts.
How we charge
Fixed. Agreed first. Never by the hour.
Every job has a fixed fee, agreed in writing before any work starts.
There is no hourly billing and no percentage of the estate, so the price does not grow while you wait.
If a job takes longer than expected, that is Aaron’s cost, not yours.
Three documents, explained
What changes when you have one.
Without a will, a power of attorney or a plan for probate, the law decides who acts, who inherits and how long it all takes. Choose a document to see the difference.
Without a will
The intestacy rules decide who inherits
A fixed legal list, not your wishes. An unmarried partner has no automatic right to anything and step-children are not included.
Nobody has been named to act
Your family must apply to deal with the estate. If there are children under 18, nobody has been chosen to look after them, so the court decides.
It often takes longer
Disagreements are more likely when nothing was written down, and disagreements cause delay.
With a will
You choose who inherits
In the shares you decide, including step-children, a partner, friends or charities.
You name the people in charge
Executors to deal with the estate, and guardians for children.
Signed within two to three weeks
2 to 3 weeksDrafted in plain English, witnessed properly, and kept where your family can find it.
from£350+ VAT Wills
Without one
Nobody can act for you
If capacity is lost, not even a spouse can deal with your bank, your home or your care.
Your family applies to the Court of Protection
To be appointed as your deputy. It takes months, has its own fees, and comes with ongoing supervision.
Everything waits
Bills, accounts and care decisions sit in limbo in the meantime.
With one
You choose your attorneys while you are well
Money and property, health and care, or both.
Drafted and signed within two weeks
8 to 10 weeks to registerThen registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. GOV.UK says registration takes 8 to 10 weeks if there are no mistakes in the application, so it pays not to wait.
It waits, unused, until it is needed
Then your attorneys can act for you.

The usual worry
A bill that grows
Some firms and banks charge probate by the hour or as a percentage of the estate, so nobody knows the final figure until the end.
A different voice each call
Papers passed between people who are reading them for the first time.
Months of not knowing where things are
The grant, the tax, the accounts: each one a separate conversation.

Your solicitor
Aaron Johnson, Consultant Solicitor and TEP
I believe legal planning should feel straightforward, not stressful. That's why I handle everything personally, from our first conversation through to the final signature. No hand-offs, no jargon, no surprises.
I'm a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), which means I bring specialist expertise in inheritance tax, trusts, and estate planning. But I explain everything in plain English, because that's what you deserve.
Every matter is on a fixed fee. You'll always know what you're paying before you commit. And if something takes longer than expected, that's my responsibility, not yours.
