What affects the price of a Will
- Complexity: trusts, business assets, overseas property or blended families take more time.
- Who writes it: online services are cheapest, solicitors usually most expensive.
- How you meet: home visits may cost more than video or online appointments.
- Extras: storage, signing supervision, severing a joint tenancy and LPAs.
Hidden costs to watch for
- Annual storage fees that rise over time or cannot easily be cancelled.
- Charges to release your original Will from storage.
- Pressure to name the firm as a professional executor with percentage based fees.
- Low headline prices that do not include trusts or a second Will.
Every Will Compare panel firm commits to a clear fixed price, with what is included set out in writing before you start.
Is a cheap Will worth it?
For simple wishes, an online Will or a low cost professional service can be good value. For trusts, blended families, business assets or property abroad, paying for experience is usually worth it, because mistakes are only discovered after death when they cannot be fixed.
Can I get a free Will?
Some charities run free Will schemes at certain times of year, usually hoping you will consider leaving them a gift. These are often simple Wills only. Some employers and insurers also include basic Will services as a benefit.
