Question 1

Do you offer home visits in Scarborough?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Home visits across Scarborough and the surrounding area are free of charge — there is no extra travel fee. Many clients prefer to talk through their will at their own kitchen table, and we are happy to come to you, including in the evening if that is easier.

Question 2

Do I need to travel to an office to sort my wills in Scarborough?

Accepted Answer

No. We work by phone, email, video call and home visit, so you can arrange your wills from home in Scarborough without travelling anywhere. You deal directly with Aaron throughout — not a call centre — and every fee is fixed and agreed before any work begins.

Question 3

How much does a Will cost?

Accepted Answer

Every Will is a fixed fee, agreed and confirmed before any work begins — never hourly billing and never a surprise invoice. A single Will costs less than mirror Wills for a couple, and a Will that includes a protective Trust costs more than a straightforward one. We confirm the exact figure for your situation at your free 30-minute discovery call, so you always know the price before you instruct us.

Question 4

Do I need a solicitor to write my Will, or can I use a template?

Accepted Answer

You can legally write your own Will, but a home-made or online-template Will is where the costly mistakes happen — incorrect witnessing, unclear wording, or provisions that simply do not do what you intended. Because Safe Harbour Legal is a regulated solicitor practice, your Will is drafted by a STEP-qualified Trust & Estate Practitioner and backed by professional indemnity insurance. For most people the certainty is well worth the modest fixed fee.

Question 5

What happens if I die without a Will?

Accepted Answer

If you die without a valid Will you die "intestate", and the law — not you — decides who inherits, under the intestacy rules. An unmarried partner has no automatic right to anything, step-children can be left out, and the outcome is often not what the family expected. A properly drafted Will is the only way to make sure the right people inherit and to appoint guardians for children.

Question 6

Should my Will include a Trust?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your circumstances. A Trust built into your Will can, in many cases, help protect a share of your home from being used up by care fees, provide for a vulnerable beneficiary, or protect children from a previous relationship. It is not right for everyone, though — we explain plainly whether a Trust genuinely helps in your situation or simply adds cost.

Question 7

How long does it take to make a Will?

Accepted Answer

For most people the Will is ready within a week or two. We talk through your wishes at the first appointment (by phone or at a free home visit), prepare a draft for you to check, and then arrange signing and witnessing correctly. If your situation is more complex — a Trust, business interests or overseas assets — it can take a little longer, and we will tell you the realistic timescale up front.
