Writing a Will with Abacus Wills & Trusts
As experts with many years’ experience in Will writing, we at Abacus Wills and Trusts ensure that all of your needs are met, whether writing a complex or simple Will. We provide a professional and confidential service, as well as lifetime service support, so that you never need to worry about your affairs once they’re in order.
Though it sometimes feels like a daunting task, making a Will is extremely important to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes when you’ve died, as well as ensuring you and your successors don’t pay more inheritance tax than absolutely necessary.
Our Will Writing service is tailored to you as we take the time to understand your financial and personal states, working with you to create a Will that meets your needs and the needs of those you care about. If you die without a Will, (referred to as dying intestate), your estate will be divided according to the intestacy rules.
Not just for post-retirement seniors, a Will is applicable to almost everyone; whether you’ve just moved into your first home with a partner, had a child or are re-marrying with a step-family. A bespoke and up-to-date Will is essential to uphold your wishes, should the worst happen.
Why Choose Abacus?
Here at Abacus, we have a number of trained professionals on hand to help guide you through the Will making process in your own home and ensure that you have a valid Will that you are happy with and correctly addresses your wishes. We are experts in Will making and can help you formalise your wishes whether you have a small estate and very simple wishes, or whether you have a very large estate and would benefit from our specialist Trust and estate planning service.
Benefits of Affordable Wills
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an ‘affordable’ will in the UK and what should I actually expect for the price?
An ‘affordable’ will in the UK generally costs between £19 and £150 and should still include proper legal drafting, correct execution guidance, and advice tailored to your circumstances, not just a blank template.
Are affordable will writing services in the UK as reliable as expensive solicitors?
Affordable will writing services can be just as reliable as solicitors, provided they’re written by qualified, regulated professionals; price mainly reflects overheads and service style rather than the document’s legal validity.
Can I get a mirror will with my partner without paying for two separate services?
Yes, most providers offer a mirror will service for couples at a combined price lower than two separate wills, since the documents are largely reciprocal and drafted together.
What’s a fair price to pay for a will as a couple in the UK?
A fair price for a straightforward pair of mirror wills in the UK typically falls between £30 and £250 combined, depending on the provider and whether any trusts or extra advice are included.
Do affordable will writing companies in the UK still offer proper legal advice, not just a template?
Reputable affordable will writing companies still provide proper legal advice alongside the document itself, rather than just a template, though it’s worth confirming this before choosing a provider.
How do I know if a cheap will writing service is trustworthy in the UK?
You can check a cheap will writing service is trustworthy by looking for membership of a recognised body such as the Institute of Professional Willwriters or the Society of Will Writers, clear pricing, and independent reviews.
Can I get an affordable will written without going into an office?
Yes, most affordable will providers now offer the whole process remotely, by phone, video call or online questionnaire, so you don’t need to visit an office to have a will written.
What’s the typical turnaround time for an affordable will service in the UK?
The typical turnaround for an affordable will service in the UK is around one to two weeks from providing your details to receiving your final documents for signing.
Is it cheaper to update an existing will than write a new one in the UK?
