Yes. For complete peace of mind, our legal team is fully regulated and members of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX). They follow strict codes of conduct set by UK regulatory bodies. All services are also insured up to £2 million, ensuring your online Will is legally valid and professionally protected.

When you create a new Will using our platform, it automatically revokes all previous Wills. Simply print and sign your new Will, have it properly witnessed, and destroy any old copies. This ensures your most recent Will is the only legally binding version.

You can make unlimited Will updates during the first 12 months after purchase, free of charge. After that, you can continue to update your Will at any time for a small reprinting and postage fee. This makes your Will fully future-proof as your life circumstances change.

Your Will must be signed in the presence of two witnesses. They must:

  • Be over 18 years old and of sound mind.
  • Not be beneficiaries of your Will.
  • Not be married to or in a civil partnership with a beneficiary.
    This ensures your Will signing is legally valid.

An Executor is the person (or people) responsible for carrying out the instructions in your Will. You can choose:

  • A trusted friend or relative over 18 and of sound mind.
  • A beneficiary named in your Will.
  • A professional organisation (note: fees may apply).We recommend checking any costs with professional Executors before naming them.

If you own a property as joint tenants, your share automatically passes to the surviving owner.
If you own as tenants in common, you can leave your share of the property to a beneficiary of your choice in your Will. Your Land Registry title register will show your ownership type. Contact us if you need help confirming or changing this.

If you divorce, any gift you left to your ex-spouse in your Will becomes invalid. Instead, that gift passes to your next of kin. We strongly recommend updating your Will after divorce to make sure your wishes are clear and legally binding.

A Memorandum of Wishes is a personal letter that accompanies your Will. It gives guidance to your Executors and Trustees but is not legally binding. You can include:

  • Instructions for Guardians about your children (e.g., schooling, values, lifestyle).
  • Guidance on how beneficiaries should use their inheritance.
    This allows you to express your wishes in more detail alongside your Will.

Yes. You can protect gifts by setting up a trust in your Will. For example, you might specify that children only inherit at a certain age (e.g., 25) or create a Family Trust for long-term protection. Our legal team can guide you on the best way to safeguard your children’s inheritance.

UK law requires you to make reasonable financial provision for your children, but you are not obliged to leave them a gift in your Will. If you choose to exclude a child, we recommend writing a Letter of Wishes explaining your reasons. This can help reduce the risk of them making a claim against your estate later.
