SimplerWills: bespoke will writing over the phone

SimplerWills is a will-writing service operating in the UK under the trading style of Simpler Law. The company presents itself as a team with over 30 years of experience that has assisted more than 170,000 families. Its method consists of preparing bespoke wills through a telephone conversation with an expert, without the client having to travel or draft documents themselves.

Family & Estate Will: features and price

The main product is the Family & Estate Will, a single bespoke will. The site indicated a price of £49, compared to the £249 it presents as the usual rate, representing a saving of £200. Among the included features are: the appointment of executors, the appointment of guardians for children, the distribution of assets and inheritances, the inclusion of gifts and personal items, funeral wishes, pet care and digital assets. The company states that there are no hidden costs and that the £49 price covers the complete will.

Couples Will

For two people, the company offers the Couples Will for £99, instead of the £498 it indicates as the reference price. This service includes two bespoke wills written together in a single call. As with the individual option, each will is backed by £5m professional indemnity insurance.

Complementary services and insurance cover

All options include the book “What Your Family Should Know”, valued at £29.99 and provided free of charge. It is described as a practical guide that complements the will: while the will determines who receives what, the book contains information on the location of documents, accounts and policies, the funeral wishes expressed by the client, and the people to contact in the first 48 hours. The company emphasises that every will is backed by £5m professional indemnity insurance and that the document becomes legally binding upon signature before two witnesses, a procedure the team explains to the client.

How to get started and ongoing management

The process begins online with a short form that, according to the company, takes less than 30 seconds. An expert then contacts the client by phone to write the will bespoke. The company states that personal data is encrypted and stored securely, used only to prepare the will and contact the client, and never sold to third parties. It also allows for the will to be modified in the future, for example in the event of new children, house moves or marriages, by contacting the team.

Customer reviews

The site includes testimonials from users who highlight the clarity and professionalism of the telephone service. Laura Wilkinson mentions a call with an adviser to set up her will; Patricia Arnold recommends the service for the help, friendliness and understanding received; and Steven Wesley values the detailed and easy-to-understand explanation. The company states it has thousands of five-star reviews.
