Single will

Our experienced will writers help you create a tailored will to reflect your wishes. Appoint executors, name beneficiaries, and choose guardians for your children with complete peace of mind.

We take the time to truly understand your personal and financial circumstances. Through our comprehensive fact-finding process, we’ll help you make informed decisions — not just about who gets what, but how best to structure your estate to reduce costs, minimise tax, and provide lasting security for your loved ones.

We work with a number of organisations who have chosen us as their trusted will writing partners. For every will we write on behalf of charities we donate 25% of the fee. Alternatively, talk to us about leaving a pledge to your favourite charities.

Frequently asked questions

What if I die without a will?

Dying without a will is known as dying intestate. The rules of intestacy dictate how your estate is distributed. Here’s what could happen:

Your spouse or civil partner may not inherit everything if you have children.
Unmarried partners receive nothing, no matter how long you’ve been together.
Children under 18 may have their inheritance controlled by the court rather than a trusted guardian.
Distant relatives could inherit instead of close friends or charities.
If no legal heirs are found, your entire estate goes to the Crown.

Do I really need a will if I’m married?

Making a will is one of the most of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. A will isn’t just about deciding who gets what, it’s about protecting your family, ensuring you’re not paying too much inheritance tax and that your assets go to the right people. Even if you’re married, a will ensures your wishes are followed and can help minimise inheritance tax or family disputes. Take a look at our guide that explores whether you need a will.

What happens if I already have a will?

If you already have a will, that’s great! However, we advise anyone who got a free will, or a will made quickly to review it with us. Free wills and quick fixes often miss crucial details—like funeral wishes, digital assets, or even proper witnessing. We offer a free review to check whether your current will still reflects your wishes. Many wills written years ago or for free are out of date or legally weak. Take a look at our guide on Free Wills for more details.

Can I write my will online with you?

Yes. We offer secure video calls nationwide and will guide you through the whole process personally. No online forms, no bots, just genuine help and expert advice.

What if I have a complicated family or assets abroad?

No problem! We specialise in complex family setups and can offer tailored advice to ensure everything is handled properly. Our will writers have extensive knowledge of financial planning, so we’re able to provide accurate and helpful guidance so that you can make informed decisions.

Can you help with funeral wishes or digital assets?

Absolutely. Our will writers go beyond the basics to make sure your will includes your full legacy, including digital and personal.

Don't I have to use a solicitor to write my will?

Using a solicitor to draft your will is a natural and typical instinct. But it’s not always a good idea or the most cost-effective way of getting a will. Here’s the thing: will writing isn’t just about legal formalities. It’s about making sure your loved ones are protected, your wishes are carried out properly, and your estate is handled in the most tax-efficient way possible. And this is where solicitors often fall short. We offer comprehensive financial advice and expert estate planning, making us a much better choice.
