London's specialist will writers. Single, mirror, or complex, we draft each will around your family, your home, your wishes. Plain English, fixed fees, nothing sent out to a third party.
We don't sell templated packages. Every will is drafted around your family, your assets, and your wishes, by people qualified to get it right. No upselling, no clauses you don't need.
Your situation is unique, blended families, business ownership, overseas property, young children, dependants with additional needs. We write around all of it.
No Latin, no legalese, no jargon. We'll explain every clause so you know exactly what you're signing, and so does your family later.
You know the cost before we draft anything. One fixed fee for the work we agreed, no add-ons, no surprises when the invoice lands.
Not every will is the same. We start with a free consultation to understand what you actually need, then quote on that, not on a generic package.
For individuals: covering property, savings, possessions, charitable gifts, and how you want your estate distributed. The right starting point if your situation is straightforward.
Two near-identical wills for married couples, civil partners, or unmarried partners. Each leaves to the other, with shared instructions for what happens after you both. The most common choice for families.
For blended families, vulnerable beneficiaries, or estates where tax planning matters. We build the trust into the will, so assets pass on the terms you choose, not the rules of intestacy.
Business ownership, foreign property, dependants with additional needs, second marriages, or assets across multiple jurisdictions. Drafted with our in-house SRA solicitor when complexity demands it.
Estate planning often spans law, tax, and family dynamics. We hold the qualifications across all of it, so nothing has to be sent out to a third party.
Trust and Estate Practitioners with the global professional standard in inheritance and succession planning, ongoing professional development, and strict code of conduct.
Most will writers refer you out for anything complex. We don't. Our in house solicitor, regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), handles legal oversight, complex estates, contested wills, and probate strategy directly. No handovers, no referral fees, no waiting on a third party.
Society of Will Writers members with annual training and adherence to the SWW code of practice. Versatile Wills holds professional indemnity insurance covering all client matters.
"Worked with Versatile Wills first in 2024 and continue to do so. They've helped me create a secure WILL for my family & myself. The whole process was so seamless, professional and clear."
"They put my mind at ease. I didn't feel like I needed a will as I'm younger, but as I run my own business, the team explained how important it is to have the right will in place. Highly recommend."
"Very thorough and everything was carefully explained. It felt more comfortable not having to go to an office but having it conducted at a time suited to me over Zoom. I would definitely recommend."
We're not here to rush you. The process is built so you understand every step before committing.
One call, free, no obligation. We listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly what you need. Sometimes that's simpler than you'd expect.
A single fixed-fee quote for the work we agreed. No packages we're trying to upsell you into.
We prepare your will, walk you through every clause, witness the signing properly, and securely store the original if you want us to.
However you prefer to reach us, by phone or by filling in the form, we'll come back to you the same working day.
We'll call back the same working day. Free, no obligation.
You die "intestate" and the rules of intestacy decide who inherits. The results shock people: unmarried partners get nothing, no matter how long together. Stepchildren get nothing. With no traceable relatives, the State takes the lot. A will lets you decide. Intestacy lets a 1925 Act decide for you.
It depends on what you need. Single wills, mirror wills (for couples), and wills involving trusts or business assets all vary. Rather than quote a misleading low price upfront, we offer a free consultation, understand your situation, and give you a fixed quote based on the actual work involved. No hidden fees, no upselling. You'll know the price before we draft a thing.
Online templates handle simple, wills for one person well enough. They struggle with: blended families, business assets, foreign property, trusts for vulnerable beneficiaries, second marriages, gifts to charity for tax planning, or anything where the wording really matters. Most contested estates we see in court started with a DIY will. We're built for the cases where getting it wrong is expensive, and we'll tell you honestly if a simple will is all you actually need.
Different jobs. A will decides what happens after you die. An LPA decides who can act for you while you're alive but can't, through illness, accident, or cognitive decline. Without one, even your spouse can't automatically access your bank accounts or make medical calls for you. Many clients add an LPA when we draft the will. We can quote both together.
Will writing isn't a reserved legal activity in the UK, so anyone can call themselves a will writer. That's why most of the market is unregulated. We're different. Versatile Wills Limited isn't itself regulated by the SRA, because will writing doesn't require it, but our team is. Our legal oversight comes from an SRA-regulated solicitor, working alongside STEP qualified Trust and Estate Practitioners, the international gold standard in inheritance and succession planning, and Society of Will Writers members. We hold our own professional indemnity insurance covering all client matters, and our practitioners complete ongoing annual training. Solicitor details available on request.
Most wills are drafted within 3 to 5 working days of your consultation. You'll then have time to review, sign with two witnesses, and (if you want) we'll securely store the original. LPAs take longer because the government registers them, typically 8 to 12 weeks, but we handle that registration from start to finish for you.
Yes. We can prepare and store your will now, and when the time comes, the same team can guide your executors through obtaining the Grant of Probate, valuing the estate, paying inheritance tax, and distributing assets. Continuity matters. Your family won't be starting from scratch with a stranger.
Life moves, and so should your will. New child, new house, new partner, new business, new country, any of these is a reason to update. We offer ongoing update services and a yearly review prompt, so your will keeps pace with your life rather than going stale in a drawer.
Call us, two minutes, no pressure. Or request a callback at a time that suits you.
