What we do
What we help families with.
Estate planning sounds technical, and parts of it are. Most of what we do, though, comes down to clear questions with clear answers. Who do you want to look after your children if you cannot? Who decides what happens to your home? How do you make sure your wishes are followed and the people you love are not left to work it out alone? We help you answer those questions properly, then we put the right documents in place.
Will writing
A properly drafted Will makes your wishes clear, protects the people you love and saves your family from unnecessary stress. Single Wills, Mirror Wills, Complex Wills.
Learn moreLasting Powers of Attorney
A Lasting Power of Attorney lets you choose who makes decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself. Both types: property and finances, health and welfare.
Learn moreTrusts
Trusts can protect assets for vulnerable beneficiaries, ring-fence money for grandchildren, reduce IHT exposure or keep wealth in the family across generations.

When someone dies, the people they left behind have to deal with paperwork, banks, HMRC and often the courts, all while grieving. We handle as much of that as you want us to.

Why SLS
The standard we work to.
SLS Wills and More was set up in 2017 by Sara Sheppard, a Trust and Estate Practitioner with thirty-eight years of experience in the sector. Sara built the firm around a simple idea. Estate planning advice should be properly qualified, properly explained and properly affordable, and clients should never feel rushed, patronised or sold to.
That standard runs through everything we do. Every member of the team is trained, mentored and supervised to work the same way: take the time to understand the client, explain the options in plain English, draft documents that fit the person sitting in front of us, and stay available afterwards when life changes and the documents need to keep up.
We are accredited by the Society of Will Writers and members of STEP. Sara serves as Vice-Chair of the SWW Professional Standards Board, tutors at the College of Will Writing and mentors newly qualified Will writers. The work that comes out of our office is the work the rest of the profession is being trained to do.
How we work
A clear process, from first conversation to final document.
- 01
Free consultation
A no-obligation conversation about your circumstances and what you want to achieve. We listen, ask the right questions and explain your options.

Tailored advice and quote
Once we understand what you need, we explain what we recommend and why, and we give you a clear written quote. You decide whether to proceed.
- 03
Drafting and review
We draft your documents from scratch, tailored to you. We send them to you to read, walk you through anything you want explained and adjust anything that is not quite right.
- 04
Signing and storage
We guide you through the signing process, which has to be done correctly for the document to be valid. Secure storage is offered, so the original is never lost.
Pricing

Reviews
What our clients say.
Five-star average across Google reviews
“Sara visited me at home on three occasions to make sure my Will and LPAs were completed according to my wishes. A true professional, willing to explain everything in plain English.”
“I'd had a complete mental block about making my Will. Sara has been a godsend. Professional and experienced but also patient and supportive. I'm now relieved to have finally done it.”
“Couldn't fault Sara. Expert advice, she knows what she's talking about. I checked with the Society of Will Writers who confirmed she was a member and on their advisory board.”
Where we work
Based in Kent, available across England and Wales.

Local Business Directory
Discover local businesses across Kent.
Our Local Business Directory features trusted local businesses handpicked by our community. Some are SLS Approved, meaning we know them personally and hold them in regard.
For Professionals
Working with other professionals.
Financial advisers, accountants, solicitors, mortgage advisers and care professionals refer clients to SLS because they know the work will be done properly and the relationship will be respected. We are a referral partner, not a competitor for the rest of your client's planning.
Charity and community
Why charity matters to us.
SLS donates a percentage of every Will we write to charity. Throughout 2026, 5% of the cost of every Will goes to Community Driving School and the Loving Legacies Foundation. Where a client chooses to leave a charitable legacy in their Will, we donate a further 5%.
We also work with charities directly, supporting their legacy giving programmes and helping their supporters plan properly.

Common questions
The questions we are asked most often.
A Will Only Single (no advice) is £120 including VAT; Will Only Mirror Wills for couples are £180. A Simple Single Will with advice is £330 with a Consultant or £360 with Sara Sheppard; Simple Mirror Wills with advice are £540 or £570. Wills involving trusts, business interests or Inheritance Tax planning are quoted per the full price list. We always confirm a price in writing before any work starts. Prices effective from 1st November 2026.
Yes. There is no charge for the initial consultation and no obligation to proceed. If you decide you want us to draft documents or give specific advice, we provide a written quote first.
No. Our office is in Kent and we meet many clients in person locally, but we work with clients across England and Wales by video and telephone.
Will writing in England and Wales is not a statutorily regulated profession. SLS Wills and More is not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or the Financial Conduct Authority. We are a member of the Society of Will Writers (SWW) and operate under its Code of Practice. Sara Sheppard holds the TEP designation through STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners), is a Fellow of the Society of Will Writers (FSWW), and currently serves as SWW Regional Chair for Kent and Vice-Chair of the SWW Professional Standards Board. These memberships add a further layer of professional accountability on top of our own training, ongoing development and professional indemnity cover.
Cheap online Wills use generic templates. They cannot ask about your circumstances or spot the things you haven't thought of. If they get it wrong, you may not find out until it's too late, and by then your family pays the price. There is usually no professional indemnity insurance behind them and no one to hold accountable. A Will from SLS is drafted by a qualified member of our team, checked, explained in plain English, and covered by our professional indemnity insurance. If your circumstances change, we're still here. If your situation is genuinely simple and you know what you want, our Will Only service (£120 inc. VAT for a Single Will, £180 for Mirror Wills) may be the right fit. If there's anything you're unsure about, book a free consultation and we'll tell you honestly which route suits you.
For a straightforward Will, we usually go from first consultation to signed document within two to three weeks. More complex matters take longer because they need more thought, but we always agree a timetable with you up front.
Yes. Wills can and should be updated when your circumstances change. We offer a free Will review for any Will we have written, and a paid review service for Wills written elsewhere.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document that lets you choose who makes decisions for you if you lose the ability to make them yourself. Most adults benefit from having both types: one for property and finances, one for health and welfare. Without an LPA, your family may need to apply to the Court of Protection, which is slower, more expensive and more stressful.
Our registered office is at 4 Garrity House, Miners Way, Aylesham, Canterbury, CT3 3BF. You can call us on 01304 577 998 or email hello@slswillsandmore.co.uk.
