Why make a will online?

The main reason is a simple one - COST.

You can make a will online from as little as £9.95.

However, please beware of the very cheap online services. They lack the few basic requirements you need as a safety net (see here for more information). Any online provider charging less than £30 is unlikely to offer free updates or a checking service.

Of course you can use a DIY will kit, or even write it on the back of a scrap of paper but the DIY route is fraught with danger, could make your will invalid and could end up costing you more to put right.

Likewise why incur the expense of a solicitor. 90% of people need a relatively straightforward will and if this is the case there is simply no need to face the expense of a solicitor.

An online will is (usually) considerably cheaper than a solicitor and at the same time far more secure than the DIY route which may be a little cheaper.
