It has never been easier to make a will...
Despite this, half of people over 45 in England and Wales don't have a will. This can lead to unecessary heartache and stress for loved ones. We offer an online wills service where you can write your will in around 20 minutes and have it emailed to you directly.
If you find a website that offers online wills, be sure to check the site through thoroughly before entering any personal details. While the internet has become a much safer place to browse and to store personal details in recent years, the data needed to make a will is still highly personal and should only be entered into a trustworthy site.

The advantages of online wills are:
Convenience - it is quick and easy to make a will online. You can create the document at any time of day, for example during your lunchbreak. If you prepare thoroughly before starting the process by gathering the names and addresses of anyone mentioned as an executor or benficiary in the will, the process can take as little as fifteen minutes. You would need to gather this information together however you choose to write your will.
Value - online wills are almost always cheaper than visiting a solicitor. With many solicitors in England and Wales charging upwards of £200 to make a simple will, you are likely to make a decent saving by making a will online.
Important note - online wills are not suitable for every circumstance. We recommend that estates involving large sums of money, property trusts or farmland should be dealt with by a qualified solicitor. The type of wills online vendors produce are generally better suited to simple estates; typically those under £1,000,000. You should also be aware that any property held overseas will be dealt with according to the law of that country, so you should make a will in the relevant country to cover than portion of your estate.
Also, please be aware that the law in England and Wales differs from that in Scotland. The differences regarding wills and probate are relatively small but highly significant. This site is intended for England and Wales and our wills cannot be used in Scotland.
