Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — provided you follow the signing instructions. Your will is prepared in accordance with the Wills Act 1837. Once you've printed it and signed it in the presence of two independent witnesses (who also sign), it becomes fully legally valid. We include clear step-by-step instructions with every will.

A Single Will covers one person. Mirror Wills are designed for couples — each partner gets their own will, but they mirror each other's wishes (e.g. everything passes to the surviving partner, then equally to their children). If you're in a relationship (married or civil partnership), Mirror Wills are usually the right choice.

No. Wills Assured guides you through a questionnaire that aims to capture your essential information and produces a legally compliant document at a fraction of the cost. A solicitor is recommended for complex estates — large business interests, complex asset ownership, or disputed family situations.

You'll be taken straight to an account setup page, then guided through our questionnaire — a straightforward set of questions about your wishes, family, and estate. Once complete, your will is generated instantly and available to view, edit, and download as a PDF from your dashboard.

Most wills can be completed in under 20 minutes. Having key details to hand — such as your executors' names and addresses — will speed the process up considerably. Your will is generated instantly once the questionnaire is complete, with no waiting period. You can also save your progress and return to your questionnaire at any time from your account — one of our standout features.

Your two witnesses must each be: over 18, not named as a beneficiary in the will, and not married to or in a civil partnership with a beneficiary. They must both be present when you sign, and sign the will themselves immediately after.

Your estate is distributed under the rules of intestacy — a fixed legal formula that may not reflect your wishes at all. Unmarried partners receive nothing. Distant relatives can inherit ahead of close friends.

Yes. If your circumstances change — marriage, divorce, a new child, or a change in assets — you should update your will. Simply return to Wills Assured and complete a new questionnaire. We recommend reviewing your will every 3–5 years or after any significant life event.

Yes. Your data is stored securely using Supabase, a trusted cloud database provider with enterprise-grade encryption. We never share your personal information with third parties.

Most people put it off — but not having a will means the law decides who gets what, not you. It's one of the most important things you can do for the people you love.
