Frequently asked questions about online wills

Can I write my will online in Bedford or Peterborough?

Yes. The service is available online in Bedford, Peterborough and throughout England and Wales, provided your circumstances are straightforward and suitable for this simplified product.

Is the downloaded will immediately legally valid?

No. It must be printed and signed correctly in the presence of two suitable witnesses who are present at the same time.

How much does the online will cost?

The personalised simple-will document costs £4.95 as a one-off payment. There is no subscription.

Does this service replace a solicitor?

No. It is an automated document-generation service and does not include personalised legal advice or review by a solicitor.

First, is this service suitable?

This version is intentionally limited to uncomplicated estates in England and Wales.

Stop and use a regulated solicitor instead if the person making the will may lack mental capacity, is under pressure or undue influence, cannot read and understand the document, has significant sight or literacy difficulties, needs another person to sign for them, or has any doubt about the effect of the will.
This generator is not suitable for Scottish or Northern Irish wills; overseas assets or domicile; business, partnership or farming interests; trusts; inheritance-tax planning; jointly owned property requiring advice; blended or disputed families; excluding a spouse, civil partner, child or dependant; vulnerable beneficiaries; gifts dependent on complicated conditions; mutual wills; existing contractual promises about inheritance; or any likely claim against the estate.

About you

Use your full legal name and current home address.

Leave blank if not applicable.

Choose your executors

Executors administer your estate. Two are usually sensible, although one can act.

Ask each proposed executor whether they are willing to act. Use a current address where possible. This simplified version does not create detailed professional-executor charging clauses or a full substitute-executor hierarchy.

Specific gifts

You may leave fixed sums or particular possessions before the rest of the estate is distributed.

Avoid describing a gift vaguely. A beneficiary should not witness the will, and neither should the beneficiary’s spouse or civil partner.

Who receives the rest?

The “residue” is everything left after debts, expenses and specific gifts.

A beneficiary must survive you by this period to inherit under the residue clause. This simplified version does not automatically redirect a deceased beneficiary’s share to their children; obtain advice if that is what you want.

Children and funeral wishes

Funeral wishes are expressions of preference and are not normally legally binding.

Specialist advice is recommended where parental responsibility or family arrangements are complicated.

Review your answers

Check names, addresses, gifts and percentages carefully before paying.

When to obtain legal advice

Use a regulated solicitor rather than this service if you own foreign property, have a business or farm, expect an inheritance dispute, want to exclude a dependant, have a blended family, need a trust, face inheritance-tax issues, lack capacity, are vulnerable to pressure, or are domiciled outside England and Wales.

How your information is handled. Answers used to generate the will are stored locally in the customer’s browser using localStorage. They are not intentionally sent to Science of Cambridge Limited. Stripe separately processes payment information under Stripe’s own privacy terms.

Information we may receive. Science of Cambridge Limited may receive customer contact details, payment status, transaction identifiers, correspondence, technical/security logs and complaint records through its payment and support systems.
