With the start of a new year, some people might take up a new hobby or start exercising, while others decide it’s an ideal time to tackle those tasks that are often hard to get around to. One of these is drafting your will, a task that can seem emotional and daunting, with more than half of adults in England and Wales yet to secure a valid one.
Unfortunately, those who pass away without a will can often leave their loved ones in a difficult situation filled with unnecessary stress, financial worries and family disputes. However, thanks to Make a Will Online, creating a will is more affordable, simpler, and less stressful than you might think.
To get a single will costs £60, and couples can have theirs done simultaneously for a total of £90. You can also update your will with an optional service costing just £10 per will per year.

For comparison, a typical solicitor-led will can sometimes cost around £200 for a single one, while a will writer will typically charge £100. Make a Will Online simplifies the process with a straightforward, step-by-step approach supported by guidance and reassurance from fully qualified solicitors.
The aim is to remove barriers to understanding and decision-making, empowering users to feel confident that their affairs will be in order in the event of their passing, reports Wales Online.
Make a Will Online has been garnering rave reviews on Trustpilot with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from the 1,379 reviews collected to date. Customers are expressing their contentment, noting how streamlined and clear the process is, with one enthusiastic five-star reviewer commenting: “Such a straightforward and clear process with the assurance that the will has been checked by a qualified solicitor,” and adding, “And I appreciated the follow-up notes to remind me how to get the will legally witnessed.”
Compliments continue as another user appreciates the promptness and ease of the service: “Easy to follow and quick replies, too.”
Plus, the simplicity and efficiency haven’t gone unnoticed with another comment stating: “Simple and efficient service. Made the potentially stressful situation of making your will into something far easier than expected.”
Despite the high praise, one customer’s feedback pointed to a more impersonal aspect of the service, saying: “The process is great, very slick, but perhaps a bit mechanical – it’s all done by email, I’ve not spoken to a soul. There is still a bit of activity required. I have to get the thing witnessed and signed. The whole thing seems really old fashioned…not these folks’ problem, this is a step forward.”
However, another person disagreed, saying the process was simple. They said: “It does what it says on the can! Such a straightforward and clear process with the assurance that the will has been checked by a qualified solicitor. And I appreciated the follow-up notes to remind me how to get the will legally witnessed.”
Other firms like The Will Writing Service and the Co-Op provide alternative options starting at £140 and £150.
