You can do this however you will find that online Will providers often provide you with step by step instructions throughout the Will making process.

An online Will is legally binding, only, when it is properly signed and dated by the Will maker. The Will has to be signed by the maker of the Will in the presence of two independent witnesses. Neither a witness, nor their spouse can benefit from the Will.
This is a common question and rightfully so as more and more Will writing websites appear online and more and more people turn to the internet for convenience. Not only is a Will writing website convenient but in most cases it is also cheaper than visiting a solicitor or Will drafter. What i would say is that when making a Will online it is worth checking that the website you are using have their Wills underwritten by a firm of solicitors. Also, ensure that the website offers Wills under your constituent law. For example:
- If you reside in Scotland with assets in Scotland you must make a scottish Will
- If you reside in England or Wales you can only use Will writing websites that offer Wills under english and welsh law.
Yes that’s right after the huge success of our main site www.howtowriteawill.org, we have now decided to launch a blog within the site that allows you to interact with us. I built the main site with the idea to add articles on a regular basis to help explain the various aspects of Will writing including what’s involved, things to look out for and then answer some of the frequently asked questions that seem to crop up when one writes a Will.
What the main site doesn’t allow you to do is comment or pose your own questions about any of the articles. Therefore i have created the ‘How to write a Will Blog’.
I will be posting to the site on a daily basis ensuring that i cover all aspects of Will writing and, where i can, answering your questions. So i guess i better get started…..
