Is an online will legally valid in the UK?

Yes, provided it is correctly signed and witnessed. PureWill produces wills that comply with the Wills Act 1837. The key requirement is that you sign the will in the presence of two independent adult witnesses (aged 18+, not beneficiaries) who also sign in your presence at the same time. The document itself can be prepared by any means — online, typed, or handwritten.
