Five minutes of plain questions, a will you can sign today, and a promise to keep it right.
We ask what a solicitor would ask in a first meeting: your name and address, whether you are married or in a civil partnership, your children, who should carry out your wishes, who should look after children under 18, who inherits, any specific gifts, any charity gifts, and your funeral wishes. The questions adapt to your answers, so you only see what applies to you.
Your answers are assembled into a will from a fixed library of clauses. Each clause has been written for England and Wales law and is being reviewed by a solicitor at our panel law firm. The assembly is mechanical: the same answers always produce the same will, and no artificial intelligence writes or rewrites any clause. That is deliberate. A will is not a place for a machine to be creative.
A will in England and Wales is valid only if you sign it in the presence of two adult witnesses who are present at the same time, and who then each sign in your presence. A witness, or the spouse or civil partner of a witness, must not be a beneficiary, or their gift fails. Your will comes with a signing sheet that says exactly this.
The builder refuses some cases on purpose: property in Scotland, Northern Ireland or abroad; business partnerships; trusts beyond age 18 or for a disabled beneficiary; life-interest arrangements for second marriages; anyone under 18. In those cases it tells you why and offers an introduction to our panel law firm. A free will that quietly gets these wrong is not free.
