Your £45 MOT fee is credited in full against follow-on work if you instruct us to proceed, or pay the first invoice for that work, within three months of your MOT.

Have your wishes, family circumstances or the people you rely on changed? A Will and Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) MOT helps you decide whether your existing documents still suit your life. You receive a short written report with clear findings and proportionate next steps.

What we review

 Your Will and any Letter of Wishes: your chosen executors and beneficiaries, property and family changes, and whether the documents reflect your current wishes. We check where originals are kept and flag apparent signing or witnessing issues and inheritance-tax points that may need specialist advice. 

Your LPAs: attorneys and replacements, how they act together, preferences and instructions, and whether the arrangements remain practical. We also review the available registration evidence and how your attorneys would access the documents when needed. 

Our findings depend on the documents and information available. A review cannot reconstruct the original signing circumstances or guarantee legal validity or acceptance by a bank or care provider. 

Your written outcome

PASS: No material concern identified within the review’s scope. We record the review date and relevant future triggers. 

ADVISORY: Improvements, uncertainties or practical risks need attention. We explain what matters and the proportionate next step. 

FAIL: A significant concern needs action. We explain the available options, which may include replacement documents or specialist advice. Replacement is not automatic. 

These are Fern’s review labels. The MOT itself does not amend your documents; any follow-on work is agreed separately. 

When to arrange a review

 Revisit your Will and Letter of Wishes every three to five years, or sooner after a significant change. For LPAs, changes to attorneys, relationships, wishes or practical use are better triggers than age alone. A simple name or address update will not usually justify a paid LPA MOT on its own. 

Take the next step

 Contact Fern to arrange a review. Tell us what has changed and which documents you have. We will explain what to provide.
