In fact, writing a Will online has many advantages over the traditional approach of engaging a solicitor, 1) It is quicker - your Will can be made in as little as 15 minutes, 2) It's FREE and 3) You can do it from the privacy and comfort of your own living room.
Absolutely. Our online Will making software allows you to create your own Will by answering simple to follow guided questions.
For your Will to be legally valid, you must:
You can create a ‘basic’ Will online, which includes distributing your estate to beneficiaries including charities, choosing guardians for children and pets, leaving gifts and messages, plus setting out funeral plans.
You also can appoint attorneys by creating a Lasting Power of Attorneys (LPA’s) with just a few additional questions. We charge an additional fee for this service.
Finally, if you have a complex estate (such as multiple properties, businesses, investments, etc) we can still help you via our telephone service. Call us on 0330 043 0263 for a free quote.
You’ll be known as ‘Intestate’ and ‘intestacy’ are the legal terms used to describe when a person dies without a legally valid Will.
The ‘rules of intestacy’ are a set of laws in England and Wales that guide what happens to a person’s estate when they die without a valid Will. Under these rules, only certain close family members can inherit from the deceased and in a very strict, inflexible way.
Who inherits is determined by a fixed set of criteria depending on your marital status and whether you have children.
Another consideration is the fact you’ll leave loved ones guessing about your wishes, for example your funeral preferences and any gifts or messages you’d have liked to leave.
Valulife’s online Will writing service allows you to leave:
Remember that debts, fees and taxes will need to be paid by your Estate before any remaining money (known as your residual estate) is paid out to those your select as beneficiaries.
We recommend appointing guardians for your children, who’ll be able to look after them if the worst happens. This gives you complete control over who you feel would be best suited to bring them up. You can select up to four guardians. They must be over the age of 18 at the time of writing your Will.
You can also make provisions for your children in your Will, such as leaving gifts such as money, vehicles and jewellery as well as making them a beneficiary of your residual estate (everything that's left after debts, taxes, funeral costs and gifts).
Finally, you might like to leave messages in your Will, such a special memory you shared together which your children can remember you by.
By making a Will, you can decide who should care for your pet in the event of your death. In the same way you can appoint a legal guardian to take care of your children after your death, so it is possible to name a legal guardian for your pets in your Will.
When naming a guardian for your pets, you should also consider the costs associated with passing on a pet. Some clients therefore choose to leave a cash gift to the guardian to help the new owner cover the costs of feeding and caring for your animal.
If you do not make a Will, or you make no formal arrangements in your Will for your pet, it is down to your family or friends to try and make provision for your pet after your death. This can put them in a very difficult position and lead to a potentially undesirable, difficult outcome for both your pet and their new owner.
Once you’ve completed your Will, printed, signed and witnessed it, we recommend that you securely store it for when the time comes - along with telling your Executors where it is!
We’ll store your Will 150m underground in our secure storage facility with a full audit trail of who, what and when handles your documents. Only yourself or your executors (only after your death) will be able to request its retrieval.
We charge £20/year for storage of all your documents produced using Valulife and £30 each time you want to retrieve a document, for example when you want to update your Will and destroy the previous one. We will not charge your Executors to retrieve documents after your death.
The Government recommends that you update your Will every 5 years, but it's also important to update your Will whenever a major life event happens such as:
The fantastic news is that you can update your free-forever print-at-home Will as much as you like, with no additional costs!

Your Will is fully encrypted, so even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your data is unreadable to anyone but you.
