Several key roles and processes are set out when preparing a valid will.
You can make a legally valid will in the UK without involving a solicitor. Our will writing service is delivered by a CILEX-affiliated paralegal in partnership with professional will writing experts who draft your will in line with UK legal requirements.
All wills are written in line with the Wills Act 1837 and industry standards set out by the Professional Association of Legal Services and the Institute of Paralegals. The will is prepared in collaboration with experienced will writing professionals to ensure legal compliance.
Solicitors are not involved in the drafting of wills. All wills are written by experienced estate planning professionals who specialise in will preparation and are fully insured to carry out this work.
Our partner organisation is fully insured and operates in accordance with estate planning industry standards. All services are protected by professional indemnity insurance.
Our pricing is for a fixed-fee will service, which includes consultation, document drafting, review, and delivery:
Single Will – £165
Mirror Wills – £195
You can update your will by preparing a new one. We help you replace your previous will with a clear and current version that reflects your latest wishes.
A codicil makes small changes to an existing will, such as updating executors or adding a gift. It must be signed and witnessed like a will.
At New Forest Wills, we do not use codicils. Instead, we draft a new will to reflect all current wishes. This avoids confusion between documents and ensures legal clarity—especially after major life changes or multiple updates.
In most cases, a new will is the safer, clearer option.
A Single Will is for one person. Mirror Wills are two similar wills for couples who want to leave their estate to each other and then to named beneficiaries.
Yes, we offer home appointments for will writing, making it easier for clients who prefer in-person consultations. Video calls are also available if you’d rather meet remotely.
A properly drafted will should include your personal details, chosen executors, instructions for asset distribution, and guardian arrangements if you have children. We guide you through each step to ensure everything is clearly documented.
