Definitely do it yourself online. The staff at the Office of the Public Guardian, who process the forms, are so very helpful and you really can’t go wrong. If you should make a mistake, they will contact you and talk you thru the correction. They told me they spend more time unravelling problems and errors filed by solicitors than they do sorting out problems from the general public!!! Solicitors will try and bully you into using them by saying if you make an error it can be disastrous, but if you do make an error, you will get every assistance in correcting it, as previously explained, so go for it and save yourself hundreds of pounds in solicitors charges xxx. I did mine, my husbands and have assisted several friends, it is so quick and easy
