Will writing FAQs
With Grace partner with Kingswood, a family business that guides their clients with knowledge and compassion through their entire estate planning journey.
Having worked in the industry for over 15 years, they are extremely proud of the personal care brought to clients and the customer satisfaction they receive. As members of The Society of Will Writers, you will receive genuine care and personal support from the team.
According to guidance provided on the gov.uk website, you should review your will every five years, or following any major change in your life.
This would include significant events like separation or divorce, marriage or the birth of a child. Effectively, anything which would have an impact on who receives assets, or what assets would be received, is worth considering through a review of your will. A will helps keep your wishes inflation-proof and ensures your property is passed on as intended.
If you’ve ever looked into wills, you will have seen the word ‘executor’ used. The role of the executor in a will is quite simple – they are the person legally responsible for executing the instructions laid out in a person’s will, including estate administration.
The executor is often a spouse, a child or another family member, and up to four executors can be appointed in a will.
There is no set price for the cost of a will, so it’s highly recommended that you shop around different will writers to find a solution that works for you. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to pay £150-£200 for a Single Will if bought from an online provider, or £500+ for a high street solicitor to undertake the work. Our team can advise on options that are right for you and your family in England and Wales.
There is no legal requirement for a will to be written by a solicitor, and you can write one yourself. However, having a legal expert involved helps you avoid common mistakes, and ensures that the will is written in a way which provides watertight protection. There is additional cost for having solicitors involved in the process, but it can often pay to have peace of mind that the paperwork has been completed correctly. You will still need to have your will witnessed and signed for it to be legally valid.
You can ask anyone to be a witness to a will, provided they are not due to become beneficiaries of the will. For the document to be legally valid, witnesses must be 18 or over, make it voluntarily, be of sound mind, make it in writing, sign it in the presence of two witnesses who are both over 18 and have it signed by your two witnesses, in your presence. Our team can answer questions and help you fill in the details if the process starts to feel overwhelming.
There is no time restriction on Wills – once they’ve been written, witnessed and legally enter effect, they will remain in place until they are preceded with a newer version, or until the Will is revoked. Though it’s recommended to update your will periodically, particularly when significant life events take place, it won’t make your Will invalid if you do not choose to do so.
Dying without a will in place will mean you become intestate – this means that your estate will be shared out under the rules of intestacy, rather than according to your wishes. The same can be said for Wills that are written but not legally valid. Intestacy rules divide the assets between married partners, civil partners or family members. Writing a will before you pass away means that you can have a legally binding record of your wishes for your estate, avoiding any future arguments and helping put your wishes into effect. Taking the time to create even a basic will ensures those wishes are respected, your loved ones are supported, and your estate is distributed fairly.
With Grace makes the process simple and flexible. Our will writing service near me approach means everything can be arranged over the phone, by post, or online. This easy process ensures clients across the UK can create a will that suits their needs without worry.
A simple will is often chosen by clients with straightforward wishes, such as leaving everything to a spouse, children or close friends. It’s a wonderful way to protect loved ones and carry out your wishes without unnecessary complexity. If you need to appoint guardians or add legacy giving, this can also be included.
You don’t need a local solicitor to create a valid will, although participating solicitors can be involved if you request extra legal support. Many people choose our easy process with fixed fee options, giving them peace of mind without unexpected costs.
If you already have an existing will but want to make changes, you can create a new will through our service. Unlimited updates are included, meaning you can raise a request whenever your circumstances change, such as new children, business income changes, or a desire to add a gift or donation to charity.
Yes. Many clients choose to leave a gift or donation to charity in their will, whether for cancer research, local community projects, or causes that bring hope. This is an example of legacy giving, allowing your will to carry meaning for future generations. You can also make sure trusted people are appointed to manage your affairs with utmost care and support.
