We offer a straightforward approach and our focus is on ensuring you have the right information and guidance

Stages of process

  • An initial meeting to take your instructions
  • We will prepare a draft of your Will and send it to you for you to check that it complies with your wishes
  • We will meet again so that you can sign your wills and we can ensure that the necessary legal formalities are met
  • Securely store your Will at our offices
  • Registration of your Will with the National Will Register

Our fee includes:

  • Confirming (based on the information you have supplied) if you have an Inheritance Tax liability.  We can provide specific Inheritance Tax advice at a separate charge
  • Making any amendments required prior to signing
  • Supervising the signature of your Wills
  • Storing the completed Will in our strong-room for safekeeping at no additional cost to you, and sending you a copy for your records
  • Registering your Wills with Certainty and providing you with a certificate of registration.

Our fee does not include:

  • Detailed tax advice. If you think that this may be necessary please speak to a member of the team

The fees for our service can vary depending on a number of factors including:

  • If you are creating trusts in your Will
  • If you have assets or property overseas
  • If you need information about tax planning and pensions
  • If you need information about mortgages and life insurance
  • If you want to make provisions for children from previous relationships/marriages
  • If you want to make provision for disabled children or adults

Timescales

It takes a few days from receiving your instructions to draw up a draft Will to send to you for your approval. If you are happy with the draft copy of your Will you just need to arrange an appointment to sign your Will, otherwise if any amendments need making to your Wills it typically takes around seven days for amendments to be made, unless they are particularly complex.

We’re upfront about costs – so there’s no hidden surprises

I’d like to put on record my personal thanks (and from mum as well) on how professional you have been throughout the whole process. You’ve been an outstanding ambassador for Rothera Bray in what has been an incredibly stressful and difficult time. You’ve remained calm, professional, fair, but more than anything clearly had mums best interests at heart which is all I could ask for. Wherever life takes you I’ve no doubt you’ll be a fantastic success. Keep up the wonderful work and thank you again.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nelissa at Rothera Bray in Loughborough. She has the ability to make complicated issues understandable, to enable you to consider options and reach a decision (we were completing our wills and updating a Deed of Trust). Additionally Nelissa is very thorough, approachable and efficient, producing our documents within days. Nelissa feels like ‘a safe pair of hands’ .

Isabella & Nelissa were both superb in their handling of the Estate of my late mother. They gave helpful advice with regular updates & quick responses to questions asked. They are without a doubt professional & proficient in what they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them & the firm of solicitors they represent, and will use them again in the future.

We had a great experience with Rothera Bray Solicitors in West Bridgford when getting our wills sorted. Talita was extremely professional throughout, taking the time to clearly explain all our options and making sure we understood the implications of each decision. She made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone needing wills advice. Thank you Talita.

We were extremely satisfied with the service from Rothera Bray during the process of rewriting our Wills and Side letters. Our Wills are complex and our solicitor clarified the necessary changes and took the time needed to ensure we understood the legalities involved. The service was professional but friendly.
