I wanted quotes for transfer of property. The Law Superstore gave me quotes from four companies, all considerably cheaper than I had received from local high street solicitors. All companies contacted me (some by phone, some via email, to discuss my requirements and clarify what they would do). I expect my family will agree on one of the firms.

Making a will is a lot simpler than it seems. Many people put it off because it can make them feel uncomfortable thinking about the future. But the sooner you start the process, the sooner you can feel confident that your wishes will be carried out.
Start by choosing your solicitor or will writer to guide you through the process, and comparing prices and features. Some may offer updates at a reduced price, or offer to do your spouse’s will at the same time. A will writing service is a personal thing, it can fit your needs.
Consider your assets – it’s easy to forget what we have, and remember to think beyond just monetary. Property, shares and other traditional assets, but also things that have sentimental value or family heirlooms you’d like to pass on.
Think about the children – not just what they’ll receive, but when they’ll be able to access it and who will be their guardian until they reach adulthood.
Pick an executor, someone you trust to ensure your wishes are carried out. Be sure to ask them first!
Your solicitor or will writer will be able to ensure that your will is legally valid and signed correctly by you and your witness. You’ll then decide where to safely store your will. Remember to update it if any circumstances change. These include things like marriage, divorce, inheriting assets or welcoming a new member to the family.
Writing a will is also known as drafting a will or choosing a will writing service. Whether you're looking for a joint will or individual will, we can help you get quotes from up to four solicitors and will writers.
Writing a will is so important, ensuring life is made easier for your loved ones. If you are updating an old will, it may be worth writing a new one from scratch so it reflects your current circumstances.
Contesting a will means legally arguing against an existing will. If you believe a family member's will is not valid, was made under duress or when they were not fit to sign it, you can contest it in court.
People contest wills when they believe they are unfair, inaccurate or were created illegally. You can compare costs for contesting a will, with quotes from up to four legal experts with no obligation.
You can hire a solicitor or a will writer to make your will for you. These are both legal professionals able to make sure your will is legally valid. There are pros and cons to both solicitors or will writers – if your estate is slightly more complicated, for example having property abroad or dealing with royalties, you may need a solicitor offering a will writing service. For most people, a will writer will be appropriate.
Some people consider a DIY will, where they fill out the paperwork for themselves. Whilst it is possible to do this for very simplistic wills, we would advise caution. It’s very easy to forget about certain assets, or even sign in places that invalidate it. We always recommend speaking to a legal professional when it’s about something as important as your will.
The price of your will depends on how complex it is. A simple will may cost around £150, whereas a more complex will can cost around £400. Similarly, if you want to draft a joint will with your spouse, this can come out at around £400-£600.
Whilst it's natural to want a great deal, remember that you rarely have to update your will, and once it's made you can save your family time and money down the line.
Life moves on, things change - it's natural to want to update your will. If it's a small change, your solicitor or will writer can create a 'codicil' which is like an attached note to your original will.
But if there have been big changes since the last time you wrote your will - marriages, divorces, children, grandchildren, inheritance, or even a change of executor - getting a new will written is probably the best option.
Making a will is the best way to protect your family. But what happens if you never get around to it? If you're married, your assets will automatically be left to your spouse. If you're unmarried but have children, items will be left to them. However, life can be complicated - if you've got pets to care for, or have step-children or grandkids you'd like to provide for, none of these things will be considered without a will.
When you don't have a will, your estate will be allocated according to the laws of intestacy, meaning that the state will decide who inherits. If you don't want to leave anything to chance, it's important to make a will.
Contesting a will often comes down to whether you believe the will was unreasonably altered. This can depend on whether the person was tricked or coerced into changing their will, or if you believe they were not of sound mind when they changed it. Talking to an expert can help you decide if contesting is the right way to go.
Whilst it's never pleasant to disagree during a time of loss, if you believe that a loved one's will has been altered unfairly, it is worth speaking to a legal professional to see what can be done.
