Making a will online or making it in-person is pretty much the same thing, it mostly depends on the solicitor you’re working with in order to assure compensation to your loved ones after your passing. Accidents happen all the time, even in the most unexpected times, to ensure your personal belongings which include your properties, assets, and finance, are passed on to the person you choose. 

How to write a will online:

When you start the writing process of your will, you need to be fully prepared with the information of the individual you choose to be your beneficiary. Of course, solicitors or people who help you with your will don’t expect you to have all the information on you, this is where online wills are a better option. If your memory is foggy, you will be given a link to return to the site so you can finish writing your will and provide extra information just in case.

• Step One: Answering the questions:

A commonly asked query online will writers face is how does someone expect them to write their will and not leak any information while at it. While this is a good concern, it’s pointless. The information provided by the testator will only be used to complete the document to legalize it.

Most organizations that handle the making of online wills have data handling policies that explain the steps taken by them to keep your information to themselves, secure. You’ll be required to answers the questions you are comfortable with, usually concerning the details of your assets and information about the person you wish to pass them onto. It’ll be up to you to detail the person inheriting your belongings, you can add additional conditions if you want.

• Step Two: Reviewing your answers & Paying the fees:

After answering the questions required, you’ll be given a summary of the information you have provided. This will be a great opportunity for you to go through the document, review the information, and make sure it meets your wishes. After you make a will online, you’ll be required to pay the fees of the organization, which is usually under £40 for a single document, and over £70 for multiple wills. 

• Step Three: Having the will witnessed, and legalizing it:

Once you’ve made the payment of the fees, the document you finalized as your will, will be mailed to you. The mail will include several detailed guidelines that you’ll need to follow to finalize your will. The will needs to be finalized by having a witness present at the time you’re signing it, to ensure its priority in a probate court. 

After these steps are done, your team will then pass it over to a solicitor who is part of a legal profession that deals with the conveyance of wills and other legal matters. The solicitor will review the document and make sure it’s perfect so it can be legalized. 

When everything is in order, your will or testament will be considered completely legal.
