Protect your legacy with our Professional Will Writing Service

The appointment itself usually takes around an hour, whether online or at home. After that, our legal team carefully drafts and checks your Will before sending it to you. You’ll normally receive an initial draft within 7 days, and your completed Will within 14 days.

If you die without a valid Will, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy. This means the law decides who inherits, and it might not be the people you would have chosen. For more details, see our guide to the Rules of Intestacy or try out our Intestacy quiz.

You can choose who does and doesn’t inherit from your estate. If you want to exclude someone, we’ll make this clear in your Will. However, certain people (such as spouses, partners, or dependants) may still have a legal right to make a claim against your estate. Our experts will explain your options and help ensure your wishes are recorded in the strongest way possible.

To ensure you sign your Will correctly, you’ll need two independent witnesses. They must:

• Both be over 18
• Both be present at the same time
• Not be named as beneficiaries in your Will

You’ll sign first, and then each witness will add their own signature. As set out in Section 9 of the Wills Act 1837, all three of you must be together when doing this. Once this process is complete, your Will is properly executed.

Anyone can act as a witness, as long as they are over the age of 18 and not benefiting from your Will. We recommend using neighbours, work colleagues or friends. You will need a minimum of two independent witnesses. For more information, read our article who can witness a Will.

An executor is the person (or people) you choose to carry out the instructions in your Will and manage your estate after you pass away. You should choose someone who is reliable, organised, and willing to take on the responsibility. Executors can also be beneficiaries of your Will; many people appoint a spouse, partner, or children.

A single Will covers just one person’s wishes for their estate.

A joint Will is simply two Wills prepared at the same time, one for each person, usually a couple. These Wills can be mirrored (where the terms are almost identical, such as leaving everything to each other first) or tailored individually if your circumstances differ.

Both are professionally drafted and legally valid. The choice depends on whether you’re making a Will on your own or together with a partner.

No, you do not need a solicitor for your Will to be valid. What matters is that your Will is drafted and signed correctly.

No. We send a draft via email for you to confirm. Once you are happy, we send your final Will to you in the post, ready to be signed.

Our online Will writing service is more than just a faceless form or questionnaire. It’s a personalised remote meeting allowing you to discuss your aims and concerns with one of our experts. They’ll answer all your questions and provide guidance where necessary, ensuring your wishes are fully protected and your Will is valid.

Every Will we prepare is professionally drafted to meet UK legal requirements. Once your Will is signed in the presence of two independent witnesses (both over 18 and not beneficiaries in your Will), it becomes legally valid. For more information, read our article about what makes a Will invalid.
