Making a Will might feel like something to put off, perhaps it doesn’t feel urgent, or you’re unsure about the cost. But having a Will in place gives you peace of mind, knowing your wishes will be followed and the people or causes you care about will be looked after.
Whether you’re planning ahead or responding to a life change, we’ll guide you through the process with clear, practical advice tailored to your circumstances.
We’ll take the time to understand your personal and financial situation, so we can help you make informed decisions. Key things to think about include:
If needed, we’ll bring in our estate planning specialists for tax or trust advice, or our contentious probate team if there’s a risk of future disputes.
Here are a few things that often surprise our clients:
Life changes – and your Will should reflect that. You might need to update it after:
Even if nothing major has changed, we recommend reviewing your Will every 3–5 years to make sure it still reflects your wishes.

We had to get a flat purchase in Exeter done very quickly. Nicola Hughes and her team at PD pulled out all the stops to get the purchase over the line in an amazing short time - 2 months from first viewing the flat to moving in! This was despite major complications with the Land Registry. Throughout the rather fraught (for us) process, Nicola was efficient, calm, reassuring and kept us well informed. Very highly recommended.

I have just sold a house and Porter Dodson were my choice of solicitors. I am so glad I chose this firm! Louise from the Poundbury branch was so helpful. All my enquiries were answered very promptly and clearly and I felt the whole sale was dealt with very professionally. I would not hesitate in recommending this company.

I instructed Ellice Pounder recently to write my Will. She was excellent, very professional and I was well advised throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ellice.

Used Porter Dodson for conveyancing on my first house and they were brilliant. All staff I came into contact with were supplying me with all the information and patience when I asked many questions. They provided me with regular updates, advice on process and best choices and gave clear guidance on competing the paperwork. Would absolutely recommend.
