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.
Learn moreProbate and estate administration
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.

Inheritance Tax planning
With careful planning, much of an estate can be passed on without an unnecessary tax bill. We work with you, and your other advisers where helpful, to plan properly.

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.
- 02
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
Clear pricing, no hidden costs.
We publish our prices because you should know what something costs before you ask for it.

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.
Our office is in Aylesham near Canterbury, and we work in person with clients across Kent. For clients further afield, we work by video and telephone, with the same care and the same time we would give in person. Many clients across England and Wales prefer it that way.

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.

An LPA is not just for ill health. It is the difference between your bills being paid and your savings being frozen.

Mirror Wills, useful, but only when they fit
Mirror Wills work well for couples with a shared plan. They are not the right tool for blended families or business owners.

Common questions
The questions we are asked most often.
A Single Basic Will starts at £120 including VAT. Mirror Wills for couples, more Complex Wills involving trusts, and Wills with Inheritance Tax planning are quoted individually. We always confirm a price in writing before any work starts.
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.
No. Will writing is not formally regulated in the same way as solicitors (the SRA). SLS Wills and More chooses to be voluntarily regulated by the Society of Will Writers and follows their Code of Practice. Sara is a Trust and Estate Practitioner through STEP and a Fellow of the Society of Will Writers, which means higher standards of training, ongoing development, and accountability than the law strictly requires. Where a matter requires a solicitor, we have a network of trusted firms we can refer you to.
Online Wills are templates. They will not ask the questions your circumstances need asking, they will not stop you appointing the wrong executor, and they will not catch the drafting error that lets a gift fail on death. With SLS, every Will is bespoke and tailored to your circumstances by a member of our team. Sara is a Trust and Estate Practitioner (TEP) and a Fellow of the Society of Will Writers (FSWW) with 38 years of experience, and the firm carries professional indemnity insurance so the work is covered. You get the conversation, the documents, a free review when life changes, and a real person on the end of the phone if something comes up. Online Wills give you a PDF and a hope. If the template is wrong, you will not find out — your family will, when it is too late to fix.
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.
