Why ClearLegacy

Six reasons people choose ClearLegacy

Affordable

£69 for a single will, £99 for mirror wills. A typical high-street solicitor charges £150–£400 for the same document.

⚡

Fast

Most wills are reviewed and emailed back within 24 hours. Solicitors typically take 2–4 weeks of appointments.

✓

Legally compliant

Drafted to the Wills Act 1837 — the same statute that governs solicitor-drafted wills. The Probate Registry treats them identically.

⊘

No hidden fees

No subscriptions. No upsells. One free amendment in the first 12 months. The price you see is the price you pay.

🇬🇧

UK-focused

Built for England and Wales. Wording, allowances, intestacy fall-backs and HMRC rules all reflect current UK law.

⌖

Qualified review

Every will is checked by a qualified estate planner before it leaves us. Machine-output is never released without human review.

Affordable — what £69 actually buys

For £69 you get a single will drafted to the Wills Act 1837, reviewed by a qualified estate planner, delivered as a signable PDF with signing instructions, and one free amendment in the first 12 months. There is no separate fee for executor named, beneficiaries listed, specific bequests, or guardianship clauses. The price doesn't change based on the size of your estate.

The reason this price is possible is automation. Traditional will writers spend most of their fee on appointments, office overhead and partner billable hours. ClearLegacy has moved everything except the qualified review into software — so the cost is mainly the reviewer's time.

Fast — 24-hour turnaround

Most ClearLegacy wills are reviewed and emailed within 24 hours of completed questionnaire and payment. For comparison: solicitor turnaround is typically 2–4 weeks because of appointment scheduling and partner workload. The reason for the difference is structural — solicitors batch work into meetings; ClearLegacy assembles the draft in real time and routes it straight to a reviewer.

Legally compliant — the Wills Act 1837 doesn't care about price

UK will validity depends on three things: the testator's age and capacity, the witnessing, and the wording complying with the Wills Act 1837. The price of the service producing the will is not a factor. A £69 will that meets the statute and is correctly signed is legally indistinguishable from a £700 solicitor will that meets the statute and is correctly signed.

The risk in a cheap will is poor drafting — and ClearLegacy mitigates that risk with the qualified estate planner review on every single will.

No hidden fees — fixed price, one-off

No subscription. Some online will services charge an ongoing monthly fee for unlimited updates. ClearLegacy doesn't.
No tiered pricing. One product, one price. £69 single, £99 mirror.
No upsells. We don't try to sell a Lasting Power of Attorney bundle or a "premium" review tier alongside the will.
One free amendment. Included in the first 12 months. After that a full rewrite is £69.

UK-focused — England and Wales only

ClearLegacy wills are drafted under English and Welsh law. The questionnaire, the wording, the intestacy fall-backs and the HMRC allowances all reflect:

The Wills Act 1837 — the statute governing wills in England and Wales
The Administration of Estates Act 1925 — the intestacy rules
Current Inheritance Tax allowances (£325,000 nil-rate band, £175,000 residence nil-rate band, frozen until April 2030)
HM Land Registry conventions for joint tenancy and tenancy in common

Scotland has its own succession laws and Northern Ireland has its own rules. ClearLegacy doesn't write wills outside England and Wales.

Frequently asked questions

ClearLegacy is fully automated. The data capture, draft generation and document assembly run in software; only the review is done by a qualified estate planner. A solicitor charges for office overhead, phone consultations and partner hourly rates — none of which directly improve the will. The legal product is the same; the cost structure is different.

For standard estates, yes. Both must comply with the Wills Act 1837. Both must be signed and witnessed correctly. The Probate Registry treats them identically. For very complex estates with bespoke trusts or business succession arrangements, a specialist solicitor is the right choice — and ClearLegacy will flag that case.

Most wills are reviewed and emailed within 24 hours of completed questionnaire and payment. Solicitors typically take 2–4 weeks because of appointment scheduling and partner workload.

You get one free amendment in the first 12 months. If something is genuinely wrong with the draft, we will fix it without charge before you sign — it would not have passed the qualified review otherwise. We also offer a refund policy on the published terms.

Yes. ClearLegacy wills are drafted under the Wills Act 1837 — the statute for England and Wales. Scotland has its own laws (the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964 etc.) and Northern Ireland has its own rules. We don't write wills outside England and Wales.
