Online Will vs. Telephone Will

by Tessa Faverty 22 September 2010

To choose whether to use an online Will, make one over the telephone or contact a solicitor to draft your Will, will completely depend on the extent and size of your estate. Drafting a Will can be far more complicated the larger the estate and the more complex it is.

Online Wills are very easy and basic. For a first Will they are fine as presumably your estate would be quite small. Online Wills are great for when you have bought your first house, getting married or just had a baby. You can fill in a quick, easy and cheap questionnaire dealing with the important facts of your Will, for example who would get what when you die.

Telephone Wills are ideal for those who are not computer literate. It is also a great way to gain advice and information on queries that may arise. You will be guided through the whole questionnaire process, which will mean questions can be asked and answers given. Generally when you call to draft a Will, you will be speaking to a Will writing expert or a legal professional who will be aware of the law relating to Wills and Probate. Drafting your Will over the telephone is slightly more expensive than an online Will, but you do receive personal input and guidance so that there is less chance of mistakes.
