  • Hi

  • Unless your circumstances are extremely simple, don't do this yourself! If they are, I believe WH Smith sells a pack. Alternatives are to use an online will writing service (again fine if your circumstances are simple) which will cost you around £60, but you will probably find a local solicitor will be willing to draw one up for a similar price.

    You could visit the Institute of Professional Willwriters at www.ipw.org.uk to find a willwriter in your area. Fees will vary, but most will include a home visit.

    All members must operate to a strict code of conduct which has received stage 1 approval from the OFT. They will also be properly qualified and insured so that you can be rest assured you will receive a professional ethical service.
