We never cease to be shocked by how many people don’t have a Will. Although more common among the younger generation, at Hook & Partners we regularly meet with more mature clients – even those enjoying their retirement – who have yet to make a Will to protect their assets and families.
All too often, we need to help grieving families who are left with the additional hardship of dealing with an estate, for which there is no Will, at an already difficult time.

We currently have an opportunity for you to save money on your Wills AND support a local Parish. Hook & Partners Solicitors are currently supporting St. Nicholas Church on Canvey Island and will donate a proportion of any Will fee to the Church (at the discretion of the client).
If you make your Will with us at Hook & Partners at a specially reduced price of £150.00* including VAT for an individual Will (normal price £176.40), we will donate £25.00 to the Church on your behalf.
If you make Husband and Wife ‘Mirror’ Wills at the specially reduced price of £240.00* including VAT for both Wills (normal price £296.00), we will donate £40.00 to the Church on your behalf.
*These prices assume that the Will(s) will be straightforward. In the event that they are not, and additional complex drafting is required, you would be advised of any additional fees before you commit yourself and Hook & Partners will then make a pro rata donation to the church.
