Will Writers You Can Trust
Writing a will deserves more than a form to fill in. Our will writers bring more than 20 years of legal and financial expertise to every appointment, whether that’s online, by phone, or in your own home.
What is a will?
A will is the only legal document that lets you decide, in your own words, what happens to everything you own after you die. Without one, the decision isn't yours. It's made for you, by a fixed set of rules that don't ask what you'd have wanted.
Why Every Adult Should Have One
Not just parents. Not just homeowners. Anyone with a bank account, a pension, or an opinion about who should raise their children if the worst happened. Jane has reviewed enough estates to say this plainly: the families who cope best after a death are almost always the ones where a will already existed.
What Happens Without One?
This is called dying intestate, and the Rules of Intestacy decide everything instead of you:
- 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 guardian you’d have chosen
- Distant relatives could inherit instead of close friends or charities
- If no legal heirs are found, your estate goes to the Crown
What Happens During Your Appointment?
No surprises. Every appointment covers:
- Guardians for your children
- Property and how it’s structured
- Pensions and life insurance
- Executors, and who’s right for the role
- Funeral wishes
- Digital assets
- Disinheritance, where relevant
- Inheritance tax exposure
We don’t just fill in the blanks. Instead, we help you make sense of everything and leave nothing to chance. Take a look at our Making A Will Checklist for everything you need to consider.
What you walk away with
By the end of it, you won't just have a document. You'll have a legally binding will that says exactly what you want it to say, built by someone who's spent years making sure nothing gets missed. Because Phil the Will™ is FCA-regulated as well as a will specialist, he'll also look at whether your estate is exposed to more inheritance tax than it needs to be, and flag it before it becomes your family's problem to untangle after you're gone. That's the difference between a document and a plan. One states your wishes. The other protects the people you're leaving them to.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. However, unlike other online will providers, this isn’t an simple tick-box, questionnaire scenario. We meet with you (online) to provide tailored, comprehensive financial and legal advice, so that you can make informed decisions. 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. Our Making a Will Checklist details everything we’ll ask you about and what you need to consider.
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. It’s so important for complex families to create wills that truly reflect their wishes. Our guide, Do I Need A Will?, details all of the different scenarios that we can help you with.
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. In fact, it’s something we’re really passionate about advocating for. We believe that people should make their final wishes known. For additional helps with this check out our guide on how to plan your own funeral.
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. For more information take a look at our guide on the cost of making a Will with a solicitor.
