Making a Will Online

We believe it is important that everyone makes provision for a Will in order to plan for their future. We offer an easy to use online Will service for making a single or joint/mirror Will. This online service enables people to make a Will in the comfort of their own surroundings and is priced competitively at £90 including VAT* for a single Will and £120 including VAT* for a joint/mirror Will.

This online Will service is intended for use for straight forward Wills only. Complex Wills involving specific financial transactions or Trusts for example, will require a face to face appointment and cannot be completed online or at the cost of an online Will.

The online Will form is easy to complete and submit to us. Once we receive your completed form we will process the paperwork. We will contact you with any further questions we may have and to arrange payment. Please note that your online Will will not be finalised until full payment is received by us.
* additional payments may be applicable for storage and copies.

We have included information at various points in the online Will form below. If you click on one of the blue Info links a yellow box will appear giving you information relating to the section of the form you are completing to help you fill it in correctly. Before you start to complete the form, it would be a good idea to give consideration to the executors, guardians and beneficiaries you will be naming in your Will so that you have their details to hand and also any gifts of items or money you want to list within your Will.

If you would prefer to make your Will in person please make an appointment with one of our Wills team at any of our offices. Please note our charges differ from the online Will service ones stated above when a Will is made on an appointment basis.

There is not a mechanism to save a ‘part completed’ online Will form so please give yourself enough time to be able to complete the form all at once. If you have any questions before you start completing the form please email info@crombiewilkinson.co.uk

Thank you for choosing to make your Will using the Crombie Wilkinson Solicitors online Will service. Before you submit this form to us, you will be provided with information about how payment is made and your 14 day cancellation period in line with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
