Professional Will Writing Services

A valid will is one of the most important things you can put in place for the people you care about. It sets out exactly who inherits your estate, who you trust to carry out your wishes, and — if you have children — who would look after them. Without one, those decisions are taken out of your hands entirely.

At My Local Will Writer, we make the process straightforward. You fill in a short online form, speak to one of our will writers by phone, and receive a solicitor-checked will ready to sign — without leaving home.

Why Writing a Will Matters

Without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy — a legal framework that may bear little resemblance to what you actually wanted. Unmarried partners receive nothing under intestacy law regardless of how long you've been together. Stepchildren are not automatically included. Assets you assumed would pass to a specific person may not.

A professionally written will removes that uncertainty. It protects your partner, provides for your children, names the people you trust as executors, and gives your family clear instructions at an already difficult time.

What We Can Help With

We cover a range of will writing needs for individuals and couples across the UK:

Single wills

For individuals who want to set out their wishes clearly — who inherits, who acts as executor, and any specific wishes for assets or personal possessions.

Mirror wills

For couples who want to make matching wills at the same time — typically leaving everything to each other and then to agreed beneficiaries.

Wills with trusts

Where you want to protect assets for children from a previous relationship, manage how and when beneficiaries receive their inheritance, or ring-fence property from care costs.

Updating an existing will

If your circumstances have changed — a new property, a marriage or divorce, the birth of a child, or a change in who you'd like to benefit — we can help you update or replace your current will.

Common Questions

Is a will written this way legally valid?

Yes. A will is legally valid in England and Wales as long as it's signed by you in the presence of two independent witnesses, who also sign it. We provide clear instructions for this when your will is ready.

Do I need to visit a solicitor's office?

No. The entire process takes place online and over the phone. You fill in a form, speak to one of our will writers by phone, and your solicitor-checked will is sent to you.

What if my situation is complex?

We handle more than just simple wills. If your estate involves trusts, property, business ownership, or other complexities, our will writers will discuss the right approach with you on your call.

Can I update my will later?

Yes. If your circumstances change — a new property, marriage, divorce, or change in beneficiaries — we can help you update your will or write a new one to replace it.

What happens if I die without a will?

Your estate is distributed according to the rules of intestacy, which may not reflect your wishes. Unmarried partners receive nothing under intestacy law, and stepchildren are not automatically included.

Is there an age requirement?

No. Unlike some schemes, our service has no age restriction. Anyone aged 18 or over can make a will with us.
