How we ranked the top UK online will providers
This is our own shortlist — so the disclosure first: ClearLegacy is one of the services being ranked, and we'd rather earn your trust by being honest than win the click by being slippery. The criteria below are the same ones we'd apply to a comparison written by anyone else.
- Legal validity — table-stakes. The will must meet the Wills Act 1837 and be accepted by the Probate Registry.
- Total price — the all-in cost for a single will and for mirror wills, with review included.
- Turnaround — time from completed questionnaire to delivered, reviewed will.
- Review process — who reviews the will, and what their qualification is.
- Commercial model — is it one-off, or does it become a subscription?
The full ranked shortlist follows. For the parent guide — same providers, deeper analysis — see our best online will UK 2026 honest comparison.
The 2026 ranked shortlist
ClearLegacy — best overall value
Lowest-priced reviewed UK online will at time of writing, with the fastest turnaround. Pure online process — no phone call required. One-off pricing, no subscription. Reviewed by a qualified estate planner before release. The trade-off: no bundled phone consultation, so it's not the right fit if you want voice hand-holding.
Farewill — best for phone hand-holding
The most established UK online will brand. £100 includes a 30-minute phone consultation, which explains most of the price gap to ClearLegacy. Optional subscription for unlimited future updates. Right pick if you want a human voice walking you through the questionnaire and don't mind paying ~£31 extra. See our Farewill vs online will comparison for the side-by-side.
Co-op Legal Services — best for brand reassurance
A familiar high-street brand with solicitor oversight. More than double ClearLegacy's price for the same legal product, but you get the Co-op name on the cover sheet and solicitor supervision of the drafting. Right pick if brand familiarity matters more to you than price.
Which? Wills — best for Which? subscribers
Will Aid-linked service marketed through Which? Member discounts apply. Pricing varies by tier and complexity, which makes it harder to compare. Right pick if you're already a Which? member and value the brand association.
Beyond — best for bundled funeral planning
End-of-life planning service that bundles wills, funeral plans and probate. Pricier than ClearLegacy for the will alone, but if you genuinely want all three products from one provider it's a reasonable combined offer.
Guardian Angel — best for charitable legacy users
Free-will-week partnerships with major UK charities. Outside those promotions it sits in the mid-tier price band. Right pick if you're writing a will during a partnered free-will week, otherwise ClearLegacy offers similar quality at a lower fixed price.

Who shouldn't use a top online will provider?
Honest answer: anyone with a genuinely complex estate. Online will services — including ClearLegacy — are built for standard UK estates. If any of the following apply, a high-street solicitor is the better choice:
- Discretionary trusts or life-interest trusts
- Foreign assets or non-UK domicile questions
- Business succession with multiple shareholders
- Estranged spouses or contested family circumstances
- Estates likely to exceed £2m where the residence nil-rate band tapers
For everyone else — the majority of UK adults with straightforward estates — a top online will provider is the right product. The only question is which one fits your priorities, which is what this ranking is for.
Why ClearLegacy tops our shortlist
ClearLegacy ranks first because, across the four objective criteria — legal validity, total price, turnaround, and review quality — it scores at the top of the field. The trade-off is real: there's no bundled phone consultation. If that's a deal-breaker for you, Farewill is the next-best pick. If it isn't, the £69 ClearLegacy will is the same legal product Farewill delivers at £100, and you receive it four days faster.
