Is this legally binding ? Can someone just write a will and get two witnesses without any legal rubber stamping ?Or just copy out the will to the letter save only for the appointment of the solicitor as executor and sign it in front of two non benefitting witnesses.

Mind you, now that you say it, I often find that my own clients do not seem to be able to sign forms correctly even where you stand over them and point!
before you go off on one :
"The solicitor appears to be acting like a vulture ready to pounce on fees."
Reminds me of one of those funny comments: every morning I get up and take my exercise, you know the one, jumping to conclusions!

Perhaps you should agree a fixed percentage of fees now to avoid any confusion in the future.
...so if the client experiences a windfall, or asset values inflate, in the meantime, the agreed legal bill increases sharply? Any solicitor would love clients like this
In most cases when wills are being written fees are never discussed. Most people find it quite difficult whilst writing their own will. The fees part normally comes into play after the deceased beneficiaries look at costs, and are only challenged by a non legal executor.
\In relation to the lines on documents, my solicitor puts a post it type stickly on the location and an X in pencil.

Even in person? Won't someone please think of the planet?!

Does this mean that i dont have to deal with them if i dont want to?
