Benefits of Affordable Wills
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a £19 will actually a proper legal document in the UK?
Yes, a will costing £19 can be a fully valid legal document in the UK, provided it’s properly signed, dated and witnessed in line with the Wills Act 1837, regardless of the price paid to produce it.
What’s missing from a very basic, cheap will compared to a full one?
A very basic will usually leaves out provisions like trusts for young beneficiaries, tax planning, guardianship detail, or protection against care fees and remarriage, which a fuller will can include.
Can I upgrade from a basic will to a fuller one later without starting again?
Yes, you can usually upgrade from a basic will to a fuller one later, either by adding a codicil for minor changes or writing a new will that revokes the old one for anything more substantial.
Is it worth paying more for a will, or is a basic one enough for most people?
A basic will is enough for straightforward situations, such as a single person with no property or dependants, but paying more is usually worthwhile once you own property, have children, or want tax or care fee protection.
What’s the catch with really cheap will writing services in the UK?
The main catch with very cheap will writing services is that they may offer limited advice, use generic templates, or upsell essential extras like storage and updates, so it’s worth checking exactly what’s included.
How quickly can I get a basic will sorted in the UK?
A basic will can typically be drafted and ready to sign within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how quickly you provide your details and confirm the wording.
Is a simple, low-cost will enough if I don’t own property yet?
A simple, low-cost will is usually sufficient if you don’t yet own property, since your estate planning needs become more complex once you have assets like a home, savings, or dependants to provide for.
What should a single person with no dependants expect to pay for a will in the UK?
A single person with no dependants can typically expect to pay from around £19 to £150 for a straightforward will in the UK, depending on the provider and the level of advice included.
Do I need anything more than a basic will if my estate is fairly small?
If your estate is fairly small and your wishes are simple, a basic will is often enough, though it’s still worth checking it correctly appoints executors and covers guardianship if you have children.
