Learn about who we are, why we started Make a Will, and how we're making professional will-writing accessible to everyone.
Two ways to make your will
Most people only need a straightforward will, and our online product — delivered by Make a Will Online, our sister service — handles that quickly and affordably from £60. When circumstances are more involved (trusts, business interests, blended families, inheritance tax planning), or you'd simply prefer to talk things through with a qualified solicitor, our consultation route is here. Either way, every will we produce is reviewed by a solicitor on our team.
Our Mission
At Make a Will, we believe everyone deserves access to quality legal services for creating their will. We combine the convenience of technology with the expertise of qualified solicitors to provide a service that is both accessible and reliable.
Why We're Different
Unlike other online will services, every will we create is checked by a qualified solicitor. This unique approach means you get the convenience of completing your will from home, with the peace of mind that comes from professional legal oversight. See exactly how our solicitor check works.
Our Story
Make a Will was founded with a simple goal: to make will-writing accessible to everyone, without compromising on quality. We saw that many people were either paying high fees for traditional solicitors or risking their family's future with unchecked DIY wills.
Our solution combines the best of both worlds: affordable online convenience with professional legal expertise. Every will is reviewed by our team of qualified solicitors before it reaches you.
Our Values
- Quality: Every will is solicitor-checked for accuracy and legal validity
- Accessibility: Affordable prices so everyone can protect their family
- Transparency: Clear pricing with no hidden fees
- Support: Lifetime updates and ongoing customer support
- Trust: Money-back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied
