Thy Will Be Done, Spanish & UK Estate Planning Services:
Thy Will Be Done is a will-writing and estate-planning business operating across the UK and Spain, but aiming to offer considerably more than the preparation of a standard will. Its services include UK and Spanish wills, trusts, lasting powers of attorney, probate, property trusts, Spanish pre-paid funeral plans, and advice relating to estate planning and financial matters in both countries and cross-countries. The site also describes additional related services available such as mortgages, pensions, investments, life insurance, and equity release through its advisers and external professionals.
One of the more useful features from a consumer's point of view is that pricing is not hidden behind a "request a quote" button. This is actually far rarer than you might think when it comes to legal matters. Certainly some case types will have such varying fees that setting a list on the site would be pointless. However, where possible we think it's something firms should try to state so people can compare easier when flicking through the hundreds of available services providers online. The site has separate UK fees and Spanish fees sections, with individual prices for different services and circumstances. The UK page, for example, lists standard will prices alongside options involving trusts, property trusts, and ongoing cover.
There are brief staff profiles on various pages, including the main page. They include a dual-language (Spanish & English) solicitor, as well as an expert Spanish financial advisor. They state their services are backed by UK SRA Regulated solicitors and probate specialists with SRA numbers included for you to look them up.
There is a substantial amount of information to explore for such a niche provider. A large number of individual services have their own page to browse such as Lifetime Trusts, Will-based trusts, right down to wills for parents with children under 18. Alongside the individual service pages, the navigation includes frequently asked questions, a glossary, information about the UK National Will Register, inheritance tax, intestacy, professional indemnity insurance, notaries, trusts and the firm's client journey in Spain. It's definitely more than a simple brochure site.
Some sections of note would include the Client Journey pages which list step by step exactly what to expect, and what processes will happen should you choose to use their services. There is a News section as well covering various general information about wills as well as changes which have occured to the laws and legal industry which impact how people can pass on an inheritance.
The firm points out their charitable and environmental activity. With some of their Spanish services, they say €10 of the fee is shared between four charities for every new client. It also describes using reconditioned laptops and phones, reducing paper use, using recycled paper in Spain, offsetting UK paper through the Woodland Carbon Capture scheme, reducing travel through virtual meetings, buying low/no-plastic consumables, and sponsoring a beehive on the Sussex coast - all attempts to make differences where possible. Certainly, it does look a little more pro-active than firms which simply have a photo of a large cheque they gave to a charity several years ago.
The website is therefore fairly comprehensive in the amount of material it makes available before someone contacts the business. For consumers, the combination of published prices, service-specific information, FAQs, articles, terms and details about its wider activities provides plenty to read through when researching wills and related planning.
A quick note on navigation. The site is HTTPS secure. The official address is www.thywill.es which is a Spanish domain name, however at the time of writing thywill.co.uk was redirecting to the same place in case you make a typing error. As always though, we recommend bookmarking sites about financial or legal matters if you plan on coming back to them to avoid accidentally mistyping and ending up on a phishing site.
