At Wills Services, we have designed a streamlined process that enables you to focus on what truly matters.

Preparing your information
The first step in writing your Will online involves gathering essential information about your assets, debts, and beneficiaries. This preparatory phase can vary in duration based on your individual financial situation. If you have a straightforward asset structure, compiling this information may only take a few minutes. However, if your estate consists of multiple properties, investments, or business interests, you might find that gathering and documenting this information requires more time and careful consideration. It is crucial to be thorough, as the details you provide Will shape the final document.
Creating your Will
Once you have prepared your information, you can begin creating your Will using Wills Services. Our platform features an intuitive, guided questionnaire that takes you through each step of the will-making process. Most users find that completing this questionnaire takes about thirty minutes to an hour, depending on how complex your wishes are. As you answer the questions, you Will be prompted to think about various aspects of your estate, including the distribution of assets and the selection of executors and guardians. After you finish the questionnaire, our system Will generate a draft of your Will almost instantly, allowing you to review the document and make any necessary adjustments right away.
Expert review and feedback
After submitting your draft, our team of experts Will conduct an initial review of your Will submission. They Will provide feedback on any necessary changes and discuss any complexities that may need clarification. This collaborative process ensures that all aspects of your Will are accurately captured and that your intentions are clearly communicated. Depending on the complexity of your situation, this feedback stage can take a few days, allowing for thoughtful discussion and revisions.
Finalising your Will
Once you and our team have finalised your Will, it Will undergo a final review by our in-house solicitor. This final check ensures that your document complies with all legal requirements and that your wishes are accurately represented. In the UK, it is necessary for a Will to be signed in the presence of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries. This step is crucial for the legality of the document and can typically be completed within a day, depending on your availability and the availability of your chosen witnesses. It’s essential to coordinate with them to ensure this process goes smoothly.
After signing, you should also consider how to securely store your Will. For a small fee, we offer a secure storage service to keep your Will safe until it is needed. This ensures that your important document is protected from loss, damage, or unauthorised access, providing you with peace of mind.
