Frequently Asked Question

⚖️ General Questions

What does a Will actually do?

A Will sets out what happens to your money, property, possessions and children after you die. It gives you full legal control — otherwise, the government decides through the laws of intestacy.

Do you cover Scotland?

No — we only provide Will writing services for residents of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Scottish Wills follow different legal rules and must be handled by a professional familiar with Scottish law.

Why do I need a Will if I’m married or have children?

Without a Will, your spouse or children may not automatically inherit what you think they will. Your partner could lose the house. Stepchildren get nothing. It’s risky to leave it to chance.

What happens if I die without a Will?
The government decides who inherits using strict rules, known as intestacy. This may leave out unmarried partners, stepchildren, or cause delays and stress for your family.

🛡️ Legal & Safeguarding

Is this a legally binding Will?

Yes — every Will we write is legally valid in England & Wales, and drafted to the same legal standard as a solicitor-drafted Will.

Do I need to use a solicitor?

No. Most people don’t need a solicitor unless there are major disputes or complex tax planning. We cover 95% of UK family needs, and our service is often faster and clearer.

Where should I store my Will?

We offer secure Will Storage for just £24/year — including free annual reviews and peace of mind your Will can always be found and followed.

🧾 Cost & Value

How much does it cost?

We offer flat, affordable pricing. Most clients pay between £65–£145 depending on their needs, plus optional extras like Will storage or Power of Attorney letters of wishes and more.

Why is it cheaper than a solicitor?

We’ve removed the expensive office overheads and streamlined the process, passing the savings back to you, without cutting legal quality.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. You’ll see all your costs clearly upfront on your invoice. We never charge for simple edits before signing.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Situations

Can I leave everything to my children, not my partner?

Yes. We can help you split your estate however you want — including creating trusts to protect your children’s inheritance.

I have stepchildren — can I include them?

Absolutely. Stepchildren do not inherit under UK law unless specifically named in your Will. We’ll ensure they’re protected.

What if my kids are too young to inherit?

We can set up a Children’s Trust to hold their inheritance until they’re old enough (usually 18, 21 or 25). You choose trusted guardians to manage it.

🧠 Add-Ons

What is a Letter of Wishes?

It’s an informal document that goes alongside your Will, giving extra guidance to your executors, guardians or trustees. It’s ideal for explaining your decisions, funeral wishes, or how you’d like sentimental items shared.

What is Bloodline Inheritance?

It protects your children’s inheritance from divorce, remarriage or sideways disinheritance. We use special clauses to ensure your wealth stays in your bloodline.

What is a Life Interest Trust?

It allows you to protect your children’s inheritance while letting your partner stay in the home after you pass. Perfect for blended families or second marriages.

Do I need a Power of Attorney too?

Power of Attorney covers your affairs while you're alive if you lose capacity. Your Will only comes into effect after you die. Most clients get both to protect every scenario.

✍️ Signing & Editing

How do I sign my Will?

You’ll receive simple instructions with your draft. You must sign it in front of two adult witnesses who are not beneficiaries. We’ll explain everything clearly.

Can I make changes later?

Yes — you get unlimited free edits before signing. After signing, any major changes would require a new Will (we can help with that too).

Do you store the signed copy?

We offer Will storage to keep the final signed copy safe — including tracking, review, and executor access.

🖥️ Booking & Support

How do I get started?

Just book a free consultation using our online system. We’ll talk through your situation and guide you every step of the way.

How long does the process take?

Usually just a 30–45 minute call, and your draft is ready within 3–5 working days.

Do you offer support after the Will is made?

Yes — we’re available by phone or email for questions, and our storage clients get free annual reviews.
