The exact cost will depend on the individual circumstances of the matter. For example, if there is one beneficiary and no property, costs will be at the lower end of the range. If there are multiple beneficiaries, a property and multiple bank accounts costs will be at the higher end. There is no inheritance tax payable and the executors do not need to submit a full account to the HMRC.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Sarah has recently helped me complete my first property purchase - we had the stamp duty deadline staring us in the face but we managed to get everything done in time in spite of having to chase and follow up several bits of documentation! Thanks to Sarah and her team.

I used watkins stuart and ross recently for my house sale and purchase. Fantastic professional service and kept me up to date the whole way through and always responded very quickly with any queries. Great company and everyone was always very helpful and friendly. I would always use them and would also recommend to use them.

Excellent professional service - would always use and recommend.
Have used WS&R before and would always use again. They are a small local firm that cares about their clients, this can sometimes mean it takes longer to get a response because they are working with their clients not just for them (or their fee unlike some of the large corporate firms who will respond quickly then charge the earth!).
However the depth of knowledge cannot be faulted and we are very satisfied with the service we have received from WS&R.

Couldn't recommend highly enough. Very professional and personable.
I have used WS&R for two things 1) a house move and 2) a will.
The conveyancing just felt seamless, and as a customer I was made to feel important and listened to. Contact was frequent and unprompted, without WS&R ( I dealt with Sarah and Tom) I am sure the whole process would have taken much longer.
Again, the service for will writing was impeccable and very smooth. I dealt with Daniel for this and the whole thing felt easy and not as daunting as expected.
Thank you!

I used Watkins Stewart and Ross some 7 months ago for a conveyance of a property and at the time I was very unhappy with the service due to the length of time it took and when I started to question it I got ignored emails and told no one was in the office to help me day after day.
I did think about leaving a poor review at the time but to be honest I was just happy to be in my new home after waiting such a long time but now 7 months on I’ve just found out that my home is not yet registered to me and I’ve emailed them to ask why this may be to be ignored again.
Please look else where if you

I used WS&R solicitors to deal with my mortgage as a private client from Sep. 2020. Totally unsatisfied with their lack of professionalism. Always reactive. The final contract could have been done at least a month earlier had they been more pro-active, which of course cost me another month's rent as a tenant. And what is worse to me, not recognizing their mistakes, one after another.
Strongly don't recommend.
