What Is Make a Will Online?
Make a Will Online is an online legal service that helps individuals and couples prepare their wills. All wills are checked by a solicitor before you complete the service, ensuring legal soundness. It’s popular with military families who need straightforward wills at affordable prices without the expense of traditional solicitor high street fees.
Is There a Military Discount at Make a Will Online?
No dedicated forces discount. However, Make a Will Online already charges fixed, competitive rates. Your system lists these current offers:
Single will from £60 — A solicitor-checked, legally sound will ready to sign and store.
Pair of wills for £90 — Two wills (ideal for couples) checked by a solicitor for just £90 total.
Will printing and postage from £15 — If you prepare your will online but want a physical printed copy bound and posted to you.
Who Should Prepare a Will?
Any military personnel and their families with assets, dependents, or wishes about how their estate should be handled. This includes:
- Service personnel with dependents
- Military couples wanting to protect each other’s interests
- Families with property, savings, or valuables
- Anyone with minor children (to appoint guardians)
- Personnel concerned about their estate if posted overseas or to high-risk postings
Why Make a Will?
Peace of mind: Your wishes are documented and legally binding, protecting your family if the worst happens.
Efficiency: Without a will, your estate goes through intestacy rules, which can be slow and may not match your wishes.
Cost control: At £60 for a single will or £90 for a pair, Make a Will Online is far cheaper than traditional solicitor wills (typically £200–£500 each).
Speed: You prepare your will online, a solicitor reviews it, and it’s ready within days — not weeks.
