Quick Answer
To create a will online in the UK, complete a guided questionnaire that captures beneficiaries, executors, guardians and specific gifts, then have the draft checked before you sign it in front of two independent witnesses. ClearLegacy delivers a reviewed will within 24 hours for £69 (single) or £99 (mirror).

What is a will, really?
A will is a legal document that does exactly four things. It says who inherits what you own, who is in charge of carrying out your wishes (your executor), who looks after your children if they're under 18 (their guardian), and any specific gifts or instructions you want to leave behind. In England and Wales, a will is the only document that overrides the default intestacy rules — without one, the law decides who gets your estate, not you.
Why most UK adults need one
Around 54% of UK adults have no will. Most assume their estate will "just pass to the family" — but the intestacy rules in the Administration of Estates Act 1925 are strict and don't account for modern life. Unmarried partners inherit nothing. Stepchildren inherit nothing. Long-term friends, charities, and unmarried family members are all skipped. A will is the only way to reflect what you actually want.
The four decisions every UK will makes
- Beneficiaries. Who inherits your estate — and in what shares?
- Executor. Who carries out your wishes and applies for probate?
- Guardian. If you have children under 18, who looks after them?
- Specific gifts. Any individual items (jewellery, a car, a sentimental object) you want to leave to a specific person?
