Use a Will-writing service

This is a cheaper option than a solicitor, and offers some support and advice, but its very much a case of getting what you pay for.

If you’re deciding between a Will writer and a solicitor, remember that:

• Your Will writer won’t necessarily be legally qualified
• Will-writing services might not have been trading as long as many solicitors’ firms – important if you also want them to store your Will
• Will writers aren’t regulated in the same way as solicitors, so there’s less comeback for you if things go wrong – so try and use a Will writer who’s a member of a professional organisation.

Expect to pay: around £75 and upwards. Extra services, like looking after your Will, are often quoted separately. These costs can add up.
