A new service has been launched to help give people an affordable and straightforward way of putting legal protections in place for the future.
The fixed-fee Estate Planning Package was put in place by Little Lever and Bury-based law firm Clough & Willis and includes professionally prepared wills with other services.
The firm says the package will help people save around £125 compared to when each service is bought individually.
Clough & Willis private client team partner Ryan Browne said: "Estate planning isn't just about preparing for later life, it's about making sure your wishes are respected and the people you care about are protected if the unexpected happens.
"Having a professionally drafted Will and Lasting Powers of Attorney in place gives you and your family clarity and peace of mind, while helping to avoid unnecessary stress, delays and expense in the future."

He added: "We've introduced this fixed-fee service to make expert legal advice more accessible.
"By bringing together Wills and LPAs into one straightforward package, we're making it easier for people to plan ahead with confidence."
As well as professionally prepared wills, the service also includes both health and welfare and property and financial affairs lasting powers of attorney.
Clough & Willis says the Estate Planning Package has been designed to make estate planning as simple as possible.
They say clients will receive expert legal advice tailored to their individual circumstances, ensuring their wishes are clearly documented and their loved ones are protected.
The fixed fee includes advice and guidance on a will and lasting powers of attorney.
It also includes preparation and execution of a standard or mirror will, completion and submission of health and welfare and property and financial affairs LPA applications.
There will be initial guidance on what anticipated inheritance tax liability might be but the firm says advice from an independent financial adviser will also be required.
Clients will attend an initial appointment of approximately one hour to discuss their circumstances and instructions.
Draft documents will then be prepared for review before a second appointment is arranged for signing.
Once signed, Clough & Willis will submit the lasting power of attorney applications to the Office of the Public Guardian for registration.
