Best online will services

Last reviewed 18 August 2026

The online will has come of age: for a simple estate it is quick, sound, and a fraction of a solicitor’s price — provided you choose a service that checks its work.

What a good online service offers

The better online will services combine a guided form with a solicitor or professional check of the finished will, clear pricing (commonly £59–£90 for a single will), and secure storage. Some are run by, or partnered with, regulated firms; some bundle mirror wills for couples at a discount. Look for professional checking rather than a bare template, and confirm how the will is stored and updated.

When to choose a solicitor instead

An online will suits a straightforward estate. Step up to a solicitor where there are trusts, business or agricultural assets, foreign property, a blended family, or any real risk of a dispute — the extra cost buys judgement the form cannot. And remember the free routes: Free Wills Month and Will Aid can cover a simple will at no charge.
