How we compare
The will writing market in the UK is wide: you can pay £20 for a DIY kit from WHSmith or £400 for a solicitor on the high street. Here's where we sit, and why.
| Provider | Single will | Mirror wills | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| ClearLegacy | £69 | £99 | Online, reviewed |
| Farewill | £100 | £160 | Online, reviewed |
| Co-op Legal Services | £150+ | £245+ | Phone or online |
| High-street solicitor | £150–£400 | £250–£600 | Face to face |
| DIY kit (WHSmith etc.) | £20–£40 | £40–£80 | Paper form, no review |
Prices above are typical published rates, last checked July 2026. Farewill and Co-op prices are taken from their public websites; solicitor ranges reflect Law Society figures for standard wills.
What you get for £69
The number matters less than what sits behind it. Every single will at ClearLegacy includes:
- A legally valid will drafted to the Wills Act 1837
- Room for up to four beneficiaries, plus residuary clauses
- Appointment of executors and — if you have children under 18 — guardians
- Specific gifts: jewellery, cars, named cash amounts, charitable legacies
- A simple funeral wishes section
- A digital copy you can re-download any time
- A signing and witness pack (who can witness, who can't, common mistakes)
- Free minor edits for 12 months — address change, new executor, new child
Compared to DIY kits: a £20 paper kit has none of the above review built in. Most DIY wills that fail in probate fail on witness or signature issues — not legal drafting. Our £69 tier closes that gap.
