FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LegalWills.co.uk Launches DIY Online Legal Will Service
July 28, 2009
According to LegalWills.co.uk, every adult in the
UK should have prepared their last will and testament but as many as two thirds have not.
The most common reasons given for not having a will are the inconvenience of setting up
meetings with a solicitor and, in these tough economic times, the high cost of professional
assistance. However, there's no legal requirement to use a solicitor to create a will. The new,
online service from Legalwills.co.uk allows individuals to prepare their will, in the
convenience of their own home, for a fraction of the cost of hiring a solicitor.
Legalwills.co.uk has worked with solicitors in the UK to provide a completely interactive
service with clear, concise online help that steps people through the process of creating a
legal will. The service uses advanced technology and the convenience of the internet so site
users can complete a will in around 30-40 minutes. The clauses used in the document are the
exact same clauses used by solicitors throughout the UK today, and the finished document is as
legally binding as a professionally prepared document. As the service is fully interactive,
it guards against the most common pitfalls inherent within the DIY will kits available in
high street shops, without the expense of hiring a solicitor.
"Creating a will used to be an expensive and inconvenient ordeal," explains CEO
Tim Hewson, "but now customers can finally take charge of their own affairs and finally
cross 'make a will' off their 'to do' list. For an introductory rate of just £34.95,
customers can have a fully legal will in their hands in just minutes."
An added advantage of this service is that customers can store their documents securely
online. Instead of returning to a solicitor to update their will, they can address any changes
in their personal or financial situation by logging into their account, making a change to
an asset or beneficiary, and then printing out a new version. Once this is signed and witnessed,
they have a new, up-to-date will.
Other complementary services available at LegalWills.co.uk include an interactive funeral
wishes application and Living Will creation tool.
The service is currently available for residents of England and Wales.
