Separate planning from administration.

Someone arranging a will is making a different decision from someone dealing with a death. The pages should reflect that difference in language, scope and first steps.

We map wills, estate administration, powers of attorney and other services only where your firm provides them. Related guides support the commercial pages without blurring planning advice and a personal legal assessment.

Give the reader a practical starting point.

Service	Information to explain
Wills	What the firm offers, who handles the work and how an appointment begins.
Estate administration	The scope of support, approved charges and the information needed for an initial discussion.
Powers of attorney	The service offered and the relevant jurisdiction, with professionally approved terminology.
Contested matters	A separate route where the firm handles disputes, avoiding confusion with uncontested administration.

What your private client team receives.

Work	Purpose	Completion check

Build confidence through useful detail.

People and responsibilities

Use approved practitioner profiles and explain who works on each stage. Avoid implying experience that has not been supplied.

Fees and service scope

Make firm-approved charges and exclusions clear. Relevant SRA-regulated probate work has specific transparency requirements for the firm to assess.

Considerate page design

Use readable copy, calm headings and simple contact actions. Avoid urgency tactics aimed at people dealing with a bereavement.

Connected content

Link supporting explanations to the service page and relevant team information, so readers can move from research to a useful conversation.

Keep legal information current.

Jurisdiction and the service scope matter. A page should not silently apply terminology from England and Wales to a Scottish instruction. Your firm identifies the correct legal framework and approves the explanation.

We connect the content plan with SEO delivery, local information and website design where those changes help the reader complete the task.

Start with a manageable private client brief.

Bring the services you want to grow and the pages you already have. For example, a firm may need to distinguish a wills appointment from estate administration before commissioning more articles. That is an illustrative planning decision; the right split depends on your actual services and search evidence.

Our Scarsdale Solicitors case study demonstrates website and service-content delivery for a criminal defence firm. You can inspect the work and reporting context without treating it as a probate-sector result.

SEO engagements begin with £7,000 for initial work, followed by monthly fees typically ranging from £1,500 to £5,000+. The ongoing engagement has a six-month initial term, then monthly with 30 days’ notice. See the current SEO scope and pricing.

Before you decide

Your questions, answered.

Should wills and probate be one page?

A hub can introduce the private-client department, while separate pages explain materially different services. We review the current site and the information each reader needs.

Can you publish a fixed probate price?

Only if your firm supplies and approves a price and the applicable scope, assumptions and exclusions. We do not invent legal-service pricing.

Can you market Scottish private-client services?

The brief can cover services the firm provides, with Scottish terminology and legal review supplied by the responsible professionals. England and Wales rules are not assumed to apply.
