How we work

At SLS Wills and More, we want you to feel confident and supported throughout the process. Here’s what working with us typically looks like:

What happens when you want to go ahead?

Here is what we do:

1. Free Will Review or Consultation
We begin with a free 30-minute meeting to understand your circumstances, goals, and concerns. During this session, we explain our advice, outline costs, and give you time to ask questions so you can make an informed decision.

2. Instruction Meeting
If you choose to go ahead, we take detailed instructions. This usually takes around an hour, during which we guide you through the legal process in plain English and record the information needed to draft your documents.

3. Drafting and Explanation
Your documents are carefully drafted to reflect your instructions and tailored to your situation. We don’t rely on templates – everything is bespoke. We then explain the contents to you clearly, ensuring you fully understand and have the opportunity to ask questions.

4. Finalising and Signing
Once you approve your drafts, the final versions are prepared. We provide full guidance on the signing process, as this is essential for validity. Where possible, we attend the signing (attestation) to ensure everything is carried out correctly.
