No legal jargon. No automated guesswork. Just real people, real experience, and support you can trust.

Our online will-writing service is ideal for straightforward situations – a simple way to make sure your wishes are documented clearly and legally. This service is ideal if you live in England and Wales, your estate is worth under £325,000 (or under £650,000 for a couple), you don’t own property abroad, you’re not setting up a Trust within your Will, and you want a simple and affordable way to put your wishes in writing. If your needs are more complex – for example, you own a business, have a blended family, want to protect property, or your estate exceeds the Inheritance Tax threshold – our Professionally Guided Will may be a better fit.

Yes, you can write your own Will, but there are risks if it is not drafted correctly. A Will must meet strict legal requirements to be valid, and any mistakes could cause confusion, delays, or even result in your wishes not being carried out.

Some key risks of a DIY Will include:

• Incorrect wording – If your Will is not clearly drafted, it may be open to misinterpretation or even become invalid.
• Failure to meet legal formalities – A Will must be properly signed and witnessed; if not, it won’t be legally valid.
• Unintended tax consequences – Poorly drafted Wills can result in unexpected Inheritance Tax (IHT) liabilities, meaning your beneficiaries could end up paying more tax than necessary.
• Excluding key assets or beneficiaries – You may unintentionally leave out important assets or fail to provide for loved ones as you intended.
• Family disputes – A vague or poorly written Will increases the risk of disagreements, which could lead to costly legal battles.

Paying less than a couple of hundred pounds is a small price to pay for peace of mind, ensuring your Will is legally sound and your loved ones are properly provided for. A professionally drafted Will can help avoid costly mistakes and unnecessary stress for your family. If you’d like expert guidance, we’re here to help.
