Why Us?

The cost of writing a will online is £90 for a single will or £140 for couples, saving you £40 compared to the cost of two separate wills. You can sign up and start writing your will for free – you only need to pay when you’re finished and ready for your will to be checked by our specialists.

The cost of making a will over the phone is £120 for a single will or £190 for couples. This allows you to talk everything through with a specialist to make sure your will is tailored to your specific needs. We’ll then take the time to draw up your will before getting it professionally printed, bound and sent out to you in the post

Our online wills include an update service that costs just £10 a year – free for the first year. This allows you to log back into your account any time in the future to update your will. It can also be cancelled any time if you don’t think you’ll need to make any updates. Once your updated will has been checked, approved, printed, signed and witnessed, you should destroy the old one to avoid any confusion for your executors.

If you choose to write a will with a solicitor on the high street instead, you would likely need a codicil to amend your will. This is a separate document that costs around £70 each time. However, if you want to change more than 10% of your will, you’ll likely be recommended to make a brand new will instead to prevent the changes from being challenged in the future.

Most married couples, civil partners and long-term partners choose to leave the bulk of their residuary estate to their partner. This is usually due to shared responsibilities like bringing up children or paying a mortgage where your partner would rely on your financial support.

If you’re a parent but don’t have a partner, you may wish to share your estate between your children. Anything left to children under 18 will usually be held by your executors until they reach adulthood. Your executors can choose to transfer the gift to the child’s parent or guardian for safekeeping at their discretion, or to use it for the child’s benefit before they reach 18.

An executor of a will is somebody you nominate to carry out the wishes left in your will. They could be a friend, family member or a professional – the most important thing is that they feel comfortable and confident administering your estate.

When you write a will with our online will writing service, appointing your executors is easy. Whether you choose friends, family, Farewill Trustees or a combination of all three, you can do so in just a few clicks.
