A will sets out who deals with your estate, who looks after your children if they are under 18, and who receives what. Getting the signing right matters as much as the wording.
We take your instructions through a clear questionnaire, prepare the will from them, and give you step-by-step signing instructions so it is witnessed correctly.
- Executors, guardians and gifts captured clearly
- Shares of your estate checked to add up to 100%
- Step-by-step signing instructions
- Guidance on where to keep the original
Who it’s for: Adults aged 18 or over in England and Wales
It depends on your circumstances
When you start, we go through these with you.
You must be 18 or over, make it voluntarily and understand what you own and who you are providing for.
18 or overYou sign in the presence of two witnesses aged 18 or over, who then sign in your presence. Both must be in the room with you; video witnessing is no longer allowed.
Two witnesses, in personA gift to a witness, or to a witness's husband, wife or civil partner, fails. Choose witnesses who are not in your will.
Choose carefullyMarrying or forming a civil partnership cancels an earlier will, unless the will is made in expectation of that marriage or partnership.

Wills — quick answers
Can my will be witnessed by video?
No. Video witnessing was allowed only for wills made between 31 January 2020 and 31 January 2024. Witnesses must now be physically present.
Can I change my will after signing it?
Not by writing on it. Changes are made with a new will, or a formal addition called a codicil, signed and witnessed in the same way.
Where should I keep the original?
At home, with a solicitor, at a bank, with a will storage company or at the probate registry. Tell your executor where it is.
Do I need a passport or photo?
No. A will needs your full name and address, not an identity document.
Ready when you are
