How Online Will Writing Works
Online will writing replaces the traditional solicitor appointment with a guided digital process. Instead of booking a meeting and waiting weeks, you complete everything from home in around 15 minutes.
- Complete the questionnaire — answer questions about your beneficiaries, executors, guardians, and specific wishes. Takes approximately 15 minutes.
- Pay securely — single will £69 or mirror wills £99. Payment via Stripe with no hidden fees.
- Receive your will — professionally drafted will delivered to your email within 24 hours.
- Sign and witness — print, sign in front of two independent witnesses, and store safely.
Is an Online Will Legally Valid?
Yes. The Wills Act 1837 does not specify how a will must be drafted — only how it must be executed. An online will that is properly drafted, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two independent adults is fully legally valid in England and Wales.
ClearLegacy wills comply with all requirements of the Wills Act 1837 and are legally valid in England and Wales.
Online Will vs Solicitor
The main differences are cost and convenience. A solicitor charges £300–£1,000 and requires office visits. ClearLegacy costs £69, can be completed at any time, and delivers within 24 hours. For straightforward estates, an online will covers everything you need.
What to Include in Your Will
- Who inherits your assets (beneficiaries)
- Who manages your estate (executors)
- Who looks after your children (guardians)
- Any specific gifts to named individuals
- Funeral wishes (optional)
- What happens to the remainder of your estate
