A two-minute check
Is an online will suitable for me?
An online service may suit straightforward wishes, but the format is not the only thing that matters. Check the human support or review included and whether your circumstances need personal legal advice.
When might an online service fit?
It may be practical when you understand your wishes, your family and assets are relatively straightforward, nobody is pressuring you and the service provides the level of support you want.
Check what a person reviews, what happens if you have a question and how the service helps you sign the final document correctly.
Five things to know first
- Who you want as executors
- Who should receive your estate
- Who should care for children under 18
- Any gifts of money or possessions
- Where the signed original will be stored
When might personal advice help?
Consider speaking to a solicitor if you have a business, property abroad, a trust, someone financially dependent on you, concerns about capacity or pressure, a possible dispute, or a family situation you are unsure how to provide for.
Do not force an important situation into standard questions simply because the form lets you continue.

Compare the service before you continue
If an online route still appears suitable, compare the checking, support, signing help and total cost before choosing.
