Will Writing

Welcome to Make A Will Online. We provide you with information about making a will on the internet. Your will, or "Last Will And Testament" as it is sometimes known, is the legally binding document that ensures any possessions you leave behind in death are distributed according to your wishes.

Benjamin Franklin famously said that "in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes", however it is estimated that less than a third of eligible adults in England and Wales actually have a fully legal will. If you want to make a will, the most popular option is to visit a solicitor. This is highly recommended if you are leaving a large estate, have assets overseas or any unusual clauses that push your will outside usual boundaries.

Contrary to popular belief, however, you don't need a solicitor present to write a will. If you wish to divide your UK assets simply among family, friends and charity (which is true of 99% of wills in England and Wales), you have the option of a will writing kit or making a will online.

Unless you make a will, you cannot be sure that your estate will be passed to those that really matter to you. The estate of anyone who dies intestate (without a will) is passed on according to strict rules laid out by the government... if nobody with a legal claim can be found, your estate goes to the Taxman!
