Legal Will Kit

No, You don’t need a solicitor to write your own Will in the UK. Many believe it’s required, but this is a myth. As long as your Will contains the correct legal terms and is correctly witnessed its legally binding and valid.

Writing your own Will is legal in Scotland as long as you follow Scottish Will law, for example one key rule is the ‘prior right to inherit,’ which protects spouses and children. Our dedicated section on Scottish Will law will guide you through the process.

When you use our Will Kit to create a new Will, it automatically revokes and invalidates any previous Wills. By law, you can only have one valid Last Will and Testament at a time, so your new Will with us will replace all earlier versions.

After you've completed your Will kit, store it safely in a secure, dry place. Avoid using a bank safety deposit box, as accessing it can be complicated for your executor after your passing. Also, don’t keep your Will with a solicitor, as they often charge for storage. Be sure to inform your chosen executor where your Will is kept.
