Making a will


Recommended Posts

A freind of mine died suddenly last week leaving a partner and young daughter behind. It made me think that I really need to make a will. My father in law specialises in drawing up wills for couples who have recently had children and may need to draw up/revise their will. He's lovely and regularly stays with us in Nunhead. He's coming up in a couple of weeks to sort a will out for us and some friends of ours in ED. I had a thought that other family room might like to engage his services. He's happy to visit people in their own homes and talk through all the issues their are to consider in relation to provision for your children, executors etc. He will do an EDF rate of ?175 per couple or ?85 per revsion if your circumstances have recently changed. PM me for his details.

Hi there I've had quite a response. It's obviously something a lot of us have been meaningn to get around to but hectic lives with kids make it difficult to make the time. My father-in-law is coming up on the 15th and 16th Feb and will be visiting some friends and family room-ers to sort out wills. PM me with email if you'd like a slot on the saturday after 3.30 or the Sunday.

This is really something worth doing and I thoroughly recommend Nick. The fact that he makes house calls is an enormous bonus and he explained everything clearly and helped us work through our options. He couldn't have been more helpful and made the process very simple and stress- free without charging an exorbitant fee.


I have recently renewed my lease and the solicitor I was using went on to draft a will for me, unprompted, and then pressured me to sign this will, appoint him as executor and pay him ?500 (!) so I appreciate Nick's integrity and clarity even more.

Just want to add my recommendation for Nick, who has just sent our Wills to us. He was very friendly and extremely efficient. I know he'll do home visits, but it suited us to go through the whole process by phone and e-mail. Nick was always very prompt (and never once rushed me to reply when I delayed things!). I was really impressed with him.

I'd like to add my recommendation for Nick at Sussex Wills. We had been meaning to draw up our wills for a while but with a small child it's hard to find the time to sort these things out. Nick was recommended to us and he came over to our house to go through proceedings. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with - very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Having discussed the wills in person Nick promptly sent them through. I'm now very glad we have this important document in place.


If you have been meaning to draw up a will but haven't got around to it then do get in touch with Nick. We highly recommend his service.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
