As the new year dawns, many people may consider taking up a hobby or starting an exercise regime, while others see it as the perfect opportunity to tackle those daunting tasks that are often put on the back burner. One such task is drafting a will, a significant undertaking that over half of adults in England and Wales have yet to complete.
Dying without a will can leave your loved ones in a challenging situation filled with unnecessary stress, financial concerns, and family disputes. However, Make a Will Online offers a more affordable, simpler, and less stressful solution for creating a will.
A single will costs £60, and both you and your partner can have yours done simultaneously for a total of £90. An optional service allows you to keep your will updated at just £10 per will per year.
In 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 goal is to eliminate barriers to understanding and decision-making, empowering users to feel confident that their affairs will be in order in the event of their passing, according to Wales Online, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Make a Will Online has been receiving accolades on Trustpilot, where it’s earned an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from the 1,379 reviews to date. The platform is being lauded for its straightforward approach, as indicated by a satisfied reviewer: “Such a straightforward and clear process with the assurance that the will has been checked by a qualified solicitor,” alongside appreciative commentary about the helpful follow-up reminders to get the will legally witnessed.
Other users didn’t hold back their satisfaction either, noting the expeditious replies and ease provided: “Easy to follow and quick replies, too.”
Another customer highlighted the simplicity and effectiveness, saying: “Simple and efficient service. Made the potentially stressful situation of making your will into something far easier than expected.”
Nevertheless, amongst the glowing reviews, one user offered a critique regarding the impersonal nature, stating: “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.”
Conversely, another individual found the process to be quite straightforward, commenting: “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.”
Additional options for will-writing services include firms like The Will Writing Service and the Co-Op, which start their pricing at £140 and £150 respectively.
