Farewill offers a straightforward step by step online will writing service with the added bonus of help should you need it. Although they are not providing advice on what to include in your will, the templates used are written by lawyers, so include all the elements legally required for making a will.

At £90, the cost of a will isn’t the cheapest you will find however you do have the support from specialists throughout the process. You only pay for the service once you have completed the online process and all draft wills are checked and approved by qualified will experts.

Farewill may not be suitable for complex estates where advice is required however if your requirements are straightforward, then Farewill offer an excellent professional service for a reasonable price.
