Hi to all!
I find it very helpful and I joined in to seek help from you. We just bought a house in Varna and plan to move there next year. We were advised to make a will and avoid major trouble if something happens to one of us. We contacted one lawyer who would charge us 500 euros. I find this quite a big sum of money for few minutes of work!
Does anyone have experience in making a will in Bulgaria? How much did you pay? Can you recommend a reliable lawyer in Varna area? Does the will need to be stamped by the notary? Is it possible to write a will by ourselves and just stamp it by the notary?
I know, a lot of questions! I would really appreciate if you can help me with that.
Regards,

Hey Orlando,
500 euros is a 'Brit rip off' price. Please 'name and shame' the lawyer to make all aware. I would suggest that 100lv/50 euros is ample.
Thank you

Hi all,

Just found out from my bulgarian solicitor that they want to charge me 950 euros... to draw up a will for me!!!

This is REALLY EXPENSIVE!! Its almost the same cost I paid for them to do my whole property transactions over there!!

Anyone got advice on how much wills should cost etc..??

I know that you cant include foreign property on your will in the UK as I already asked my solicitor here- otherwise I would!!

Even solicitors in the UK only charge about £200-300 for a will- and the UKs suppose to be expensive!!

See ya D

Hi all, the law firm that I am using in Bulgaria charged me 500 euros for this service and I found this normal. If someone is interested you could write to office@dklawyers.eu or visit their website: dklawyers.eu

Also if you dont mind me asking what is the process when they set up a will for you in Bulgaria??

See ya D

I charge £95 for a Bulgarian Will.
