Quick Answer
To start a Will online with ClearLegacy (England & Wales): open the 15-minute questionnaire and pay £69 for a Single Will or £99 for Mirror Wills. Your first draft is emailed straight after payment and your signing-ready Will usually follows within 24 hours, once it has been checked. You then print it and sign in front of two independent witnesses who are present at the same time and then sign themselves, as section 9 of the Wills Act 1837 requires.

The honest truth about starting a Will
Most people put off making a Will not because it's complicated, but because it feels heavy. ClearLegacy's questionnaire is designed to remove that friction. You start, you answer the questions in plain English, you submit. Most people finish in one sitting because the questions are short and clear. If you don't, your progress saves automatically and you can come back later.
What you actually need before you start
- Your full legal name, date of birth and home address
- The names and rough addresses of the people you'd like to leave things to
- Some idea of who you'd want as executors — typically a spouse, adult child, or trusted friend
- If you have children under 18: who you'd like as guardians
- About 15 minutes of uninterrupted time
What happens after you pay
Finishing the questionnaire is not the last step. This is what to expect between paying and having a Will that counts:
- Straight away: your first draft is emailed to you. Read it while your answers are fresh and check every name, spelling and relationship.
- Usually within 24 hours: your signing-ready Will is issued. Every Will is checked before it's issued.
- When you sign: print the Will and sign it with two witnesses watching at the same time. They then sign too. Witnesses must not be beneficiaries or married to (or the civil partner of) a beneficiary. See who can witness a Will.
- Afterwards: keep the signed original somewhere safe and tell your executors where it is. The unsigned copy in your account is not a valid Will. See where to keep your Will.
Until the paper copy is signed and witnessed, your old Will (or the intestacy rules if you have none) still applies. Aim to sign within a few days.
