For comparison: people who used a solicitor paid £328 on average for their Will (Which?, 2025 survey), and a solicitor can advise you on situations that an online Will on its own cannot, such as business assets. A do-it-yourself Will kit from Lawpack costs £17.99 to £34.99.

When a solicitor is the better choice

If you own a business or a farm, want a trust to provide for a partner, children from an earlier relationship, or a vulnerable family member, are separating, own property abroad, or have a large or complex estate, a solicitor can give you advice on your situation that an online Will on its own cannot.
