Wills for British citizens
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2015 7:45 am
Can anyone recommend an online agency that can prepare a will for British citizens who are living overseas, something similar to Legalzoom for Americans? Cheers.
If your looking for just a simple template service at around £10 you can try:
Law Pack http://www.lawpack.co.uk/
Compact Law http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/free-legal-documents.html
There are also services that provide a little more help through online questionnaires at about £30:
Simple Wills https://www.simplewills.net
Will Writer http://www.onlinewillwriter.co.uk/
Make a Will Online http://www.makeawillonline.co.uk/
Lastly, a number of online services offer a solicitor reviewed will at around £100
My Lawyer http://www.mylawyer.co.uk/
Rocket Lawyer https://www.rocketlawyer.co.uk/
Is a monthly membership but you can get a 7 day free trial that includes a 30 minute solicitor consultation. If you move fast the whole thing can cost you £0 if you cancel within the 7 days.
Olive Bay http://olivebaylegal.co.uk/
You pay a one time fee and then can update your will online forever (until you die), it uses a survey template and then optionally for £25 you can have it reviewed by a solicitor.
I used Rocket Lawyer over a Holiday break, didnt cost me anything, but my needs were a little more complex since I have overseas investment property, a US pension with a death benefit, and an investment portfolio.
