By the way the standard Notarial fee per Will is €191,60 not €5 as Bazza mentioned

Last year, my total fee for two wills, including solicitor, notary, witnesses etc, was 683 euros. I was told by several people whose opinions I trust, that it is better to have a Portuguese will, in addition to an English one, and I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. The idea is to minimize the hassle for one's loved ones at a time when they least need it, and even though it might be expensive in Portugal, the cost is worth it in my opinion.

Mike Banks is correct in what he says.

HI

We also have uk wills that cost about the same as yours but we were told not to include our portugese property and to make seperate one in Portugal so looking at the different replies I guess we can expect to pay up towards a 1000 euros for a will.

er .......looking back over this thread I think 1,000 for TWO Wills is above the aveage that you should expect to pay
