Yes, you can create a legally binding will online with VitaWill without the need for a solicitor as long as your wishes are relatively simple. VitaWill has an intuitive technology that makes it easier than ever to create your own will. The service is the most efficient and cost-effective way to create an online will in the UK. VitaWill has a team of STEP qualified professionals (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) available to ensure that your will is drafted correctly and reflects your final wishes.

Making a will online with VitaWill is legal and compliant, as long as the testator (the person making the will) meets the standard legal requirements for a UK will. The testator must be over the age of 18, make the will voluntarily and not under any coercion, be of sound mind when writing the will, have the will visibly written in printed text that VitaWill generates, and have the will signed by two individuals who are over 18 and cannot stand to benefit from the will in question.

Dying without a valid will is called intestacy or dying intestate. If you die with no will in place, your estate goes to your next of kin. However, if you are not married or in a civil partnership, your partner is not legally entitled to anything when you die. Additionally, any Inheritance Tax that your estate has to pay might be higher than it would be if you had made a will. VitaWill can alleviate any worries you may have and can ensure your partner is protected even if you're not married, and that specific items, pets, chattels, etc. are given to the correct people.

VitaWill's online will service generates a simple or basic will, which states what you would like to happen to your estate upon your death. The will also names your executors (appointed to administer the estate of a deceased person) and nominates your chosen guardians for your children and pets. For very large and/or complicated estates, where you may want to set up trusts, lay out complex wishes and explore methods to mitigate inheritance tax exposure, VitaWill has a team of STEP qualified estate planning professionals who can provide free detailed guidance on further estate and tax planning.

VitaWill's online will allows you to determine exactly where you would like to distribute your estate, including money, property or land, specific belongings, and stocks and shares, among other assets.

Yes, VitaWill makes it easy for couples and partners to create separate wills that reflect each individual's wishes. Couples can create their own individual and separate wills, providing greater protection that mirror wills simply cannot offer. The first will is made by the lead will writer, and then an invite is sent to the partner to create their own individual will with separate wishes specific to each partner. VitaWill's offer for couples (individual wills) costs just £120, which is £40 less than if you were to purchase them separately and will save hundreds of pounds compared to using a traditional solicitor.

VitaWill makes it easy to create your own legally binding will and even easier for your partner to complete their own will at a time that is convenient for them. VitaWill will send an email to your partner with details about how to complete their will, along with a complete guide. Once they have completed their will, they will be able to download it without having to make a payment.
