Your questions about wills, answered.

One single will with guardians, executors and the remaining estate, including alternative executors, guardians and beneficiaries. Specific gifts, cash gifts, pet provisions and mirror wills require enhanced documents.

An enhanced single will costs £20, one-off. Mirror wills cost £35 for both of you. Printing and posting is £10 for a single will or £15 for mirror wills, with UK postage included. Storage, professional registration and will specialist review are separate optional services, with prices to be confirmed.

Generally, you must be 18 or over and have the mental capacity to understand what a will does and the effect of your decisions. This service is designed for straightforward estates and may not suit everyone.

A will lets you say who should inherit your estate, who should carry out your wishes and who should look after any children under 18. Without one, the intestacy rules decide who inherits, which may not reflect your wishes.

Start with the free suitability check. It takes about two minutes and tells you whether a straightforward will fits, or whether your circumstances are ones where professional advice is worth having. Our wills are written for the law of England and Wales, so we cannot help if your permanent home is elsewhere.

You can still make your will here. Our wills can include a lifetime trust for a partner, a flexible trust, a protected inheritance for a vulnerable beneficiary, and a statement about someone you have chosen to leave out. If you tell us about things like property abroad, a business or a possible family dispute, we point out where professional advice is worth having, and the choice stays yours.

An executor is the person (or people) you choose to carry out the instructions in your will — collecting your assets, paying any debts and distributing what is left to your beneficiaries. You can usually name more than one.

A beneficiary is anyone you choose to inherit from your estate — family, friends or charities. You can leave specific gifts, fixed amounts or shares of what remains (the residue).

If you have children under 18, your will can record who you would like to look after them. This is an important decision and the questionnaire will prompt you where it may apply.

In England & Wales a will generally must be in writing, signed by you in the presence of two independent witnesses who then sign in your presence. A document is not valid simply because it has been generated — the signing and witnessing requirements must be followed.

Yes. People often update their will after major life events such as marriage, separation, children or buying a home. You can update your answers in your account and get a new will prepared. Sign the new one and destroy the old one.
