This is the question we have been asked most frequently over the last month and the answer is yes to both. Though in normal circumstances we would wish to meet our clients face to face either in the office or at their home, we appreciate is this neither desirable nor possible for many people now.

The process below outlines how we are currently operating our Wills service and we have a similar system in place for Lasting Powers of Attorney.                                                                                                             

  • Initial meeting via telephone or video call to advise and take instructions

  • Client documentation issued by email or post

  • Client returns Authority to proceed by email or post

  • Blackhurst Budd Solicitors draft wills and issue advice letter by email or post

  • Wills approved by the client

  • Wills printed and bound and issued by post with detailed instructions for signing and witnessing

  • OR final wills emailed to client for printing and signature with detailed instructions for signing and witnessing

  • Signed wills returned to Blackhurst Budd Solicitors for checking

  • Copy wills issued by email whilst originals are stored free of charge

To make your initial appointment for either a Will review or to set up a Lasting Power of Attorney please call 01253 629300.
