I can write one every year with my bank account free of charge.

Have you used the bank yet? Maybe check that the bank isn't named as executor on your Will if you have.
I've no experience of these but have read a few horror stories along the way.Banks are fiendishly expensive for probate work.Once appointed, I don't think they can be removed either if someone feels up to the job ( easily diy-able if a simple estate).

Is it just a basic type Will that is free or any Will?

On the subject of probate, I'd suggest that people check that a company knows what it is doing. Qualifications and insurance would be my two main motivators when choosing.

It's just a will writing service from Barclays and I've named my own executors, nothing to do with the bank and I hold my own will. I'm confident it's all OK thanks.
