SL — Founder of ClearLegacy

I started ClearLegacy after seeing how hard "a simple thing" can be. When someone close passed away without a Will, what followed wasn't just grief — it was paperwork, delay, cost, and quiet tension between people who loved each other. It shouldn't be that hard, and it shouldn't cost £500 to put your wishes in writing. ClearLegacy is my answer: a proper, legally valid Will — from a few plain-English questions, checked against the Wills Act 1837, delivered within 24 hours — for £69. No jargon, no upsells. Just a simple way for any UK resident to make sure the people they love are looked after. — SL, Founder

SL is a UK technology entrepreneur and the founder of ClearLegacy, the fixed-fee online will-writing service operated by Kaizen Finance Ltd (Company No. 12092327).

Why ClearLegacy exists

Around six in ten UK adults have no Will — not because they don’t care what happens to their families, but because the traditional route costs £300–£1,000, takes weeks of appointments, and feels built for somebody else. ClearLegacy was created on a simple premise: for the majority of UK estates, a legally valid Will is a well-understood document that technology can draft accurately from plain-English answers, with structured compliance checks against the Wills Act 1837 — at a price that removes the excuse to keep putting it off.

The approach

ClearLegacy is deliberately not a law firm, and SL is not a solicitor — and the service is built around that honesty. The legal validity of a Will depends on the document and how it is signed, not on who drafted it. So ClearLegacy focuses on what determines real-world outcomes: precise drafting from structured questions, automated checks against the statutory requirements, plain-English signing instructions (where most DIY Wills actually fail), and clear guidance to use a solicitor when an estate genuinely needs one — trusts, business assets, foreign property, or family disputes. The result: Wills from £69, delivered within 24 hours, with one free update included.

Beyond ClearLegacy

SL builds and operates UK technology businesses through Kaizen Finance Ltd, with a focus on using automation to make traditionally expensive professional services accessible. ClearLegacy is the group’s estate-planning service, and its editorial team maintains one of the UK’s larger plain-English estate planning resources — a knowledge base, real-world scenarios, decision trees and free-to-cite UK statistics used by researchers and journalists.
