Making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect the people and causes you care about. Yet many people put it off, often because they believe it will be complicated or expensive.
At QualitySolicitors, we believe making a will should feel clear, supportive and stress-free. Whether your wishes are simple or your circumstances are more complex.
We offer two simple ways to get started, depending on your needs and circumstances.
If your wishes are straightforward, making a will online can be a convenient and cost-effective option.
Our online will writing service allows you to create your will at a time that suits you, from the comfort of your own home, with clear guidance every step of the way.
Your will is checked by a qualified estate planning solicitor, not just a “will writer”
We work in partnership with Make A Will Online, who have been helping people create professionally drafted wills for over a decade. While anyone can call themselves a will writer, only wills and probate solicitors are fully qualified, regulated and insured. That extra level of legal reassurance gives you real peace of mind, without the high cost.
Making a will online can be a practical choice if your estate and family arrangements are uncomplicated and you are confident about your instructions.
If your circumstances are more complex, or you would simply prefer personal legal advice, you can arrange a meeting with an experienced will solicitor and estate planning expert with one of our Quality Solicitors law firms.

Our friendly, experienced wills and probate solicitors will take the time to understand your situation, explain your options clearly, and draft a will that reflects your wishes accurately and protects your loved ones.

Many people don’t realise what can happen if they die without a will. In the UK, fewer than four in ten adults have one.
If you pass away without a will, you die “intestate” and your estate is subject to the rules of intestacy. This means the law, rather than your personal preferences dictate how your assets are distributed. shared according to strict legal rules – not your personal wishes.
This can mean:
The only way to be sure your wishes are followed is to make a will.
There are different types of wills, and the right one depends on your personal and financial situation.
Our wills and probate solicitors can guide you through your options and help you decide what works best for you.
You don’t legally have to use a solicitor, but it is strongly recommended.
A poorly drafted or unclear will can lead to family disputes, delays in probate and unnecessary stress for your loved ones. Solicitors ensure your will is legally valid, properly signed, and clearly worded.
All solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and are covered by professional indemnity insurance, giving you added protection and reassurance.
The cost of making a will depends on how simple or complex your circumstances are.
