A straightforward will costs between £79 and £400, depending on how you write it.
Online services like PureWill charge £79 for a single will or £129 for mirror wills for couples. Solicitors typically charge £150 to £400 for a simple will. Complex wills involving trusts or inheritance tax planning cost more and should always involve a solicitor.
Free options exist for people aged 55 and over. Free Wills Month runs in March and October, with participating solicitors offering free simple wills. Will Aid runs every November, with a suggested charitable donation in place of a fee.
DIY templates are available for free or around £30, but errors in wording or signing can invalidate a will entirely. A structured online service includes all the legally required clauses in the correct format.
