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:

Having used Porter Dodson for many years we still feel we are well looked after especially when using a range of their services with different team members. Louise and Tiffany are always so friendly, reassuring and professional. I can highly recommend them for conveyancing.

Ros and Elle from the Dorchester branch were very professional but also approachable and kept me informed as to where we were in the land sale process at all times. The price charged for the work was very fair and was exactly what the initial estimate said it would be. Overall I am very impressed and happy with the service offered and the friendly approach to working with the team.
