Why choose our will writing service?
With Make A Will Online, you get the peace of mind of knowing a solicitor has checked your will. Anyone can call themselves a “will writer” or offer a “legal check”. A solicitor, on the other hand, is a qualified legal professional.
We are the only online wills provider to offer this service and have been granted an Innovation Space Waiver by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to do so.
We believe that this offers you the best possible peace of mind for the best price.

How does the will-writing process work?
Before you start the will writing process you should have the name and address of anyone you intend to name in the document. Postcodes are useful too, but not essential. You will be sent a link by email in case you need to come back at a later date to complete the will.
1. Fill in your information securely
At the start of the secure online questionnaire, you will be asked to provide your address and contact details.
These are strictly private and are used a) for production of the document b) to allow you to login if you don't complete your will in a single session c) to send the completed document (via email).
You then answer a series of questions about who you want to manage your estate, who you would like to look after any children, who you would like to inherit your possessions and any conditions you wish to attach.
2. Review, confirm and pay
At the end of the questionnaire, you will be presented with a summary of the information you have entered and have the opportunity to go back and make any amendments you wish.
You then make a secure payment of £60.00 (single will) or £90.00 (pair of wills) by card or PayPal.
3. Receive your will, sign and witness
Once the secure payment has been made, the will document will be emailed to you at the email address you provided, along with detailed instructions for making the will legal and receipt for payment.
Shortly afterwards, a solicitor will check the document to make sure that everything is in order. If anything is unclear, a member of our team will contact you by email.
You can choose to receive a printed version of your will by post for just £15.00 per document.

Validity
Our wills are valid for property held in England and Wales. If you have property overseas, you should check local laws and, if necessary, create a separate document to cover the foreign property.
Wills for UK expats
Our wills are fully legal in England and Wales, but the situation becomes more complicated if you are resident abroad, or own property overseas.
Different countries deal with inheritance law differently and you should consult an expert on local law in the country in which you live.
Charities
We work with dozens of charities on their gifts in wills campaigns. If your charity is interested, find out more about a Fundraising Regulator compliant legacies campaign.
