Why should the government decide
Where your hard-earned money goes to when you die?
You have worked hard,and paid tax all of your life
Yet two-thirds of adults in the UK have not written their Will
meaning the government will decide how your money or assets are shared.
Without a Will
Children Under 18
Could go into the care
of the local authority.
Your Family
Pay too much
inheritance tax.
The Wrong People
End up benefitting
from your estate.
The Legal Work (probate)
Is prolonged, causing your family even more stress at a time they should be grieving.
Your Family and Friends
Can get into disputes over who gets what causing even more upset.
The Government
Choose your executor for you
(the people that carry out the terms of your Will).

Here are 7 reasons you should have a valid Will in place.
It avoids a long probate process.
When someone passes on without making a Will there is often almost a vacuum where no-one knows what to do.
Someone will need to step forward and apply for letters of administration. These allow someone to deal with the affairs of the deceased but of course, as there is no Will then they will decide how the estate should be distributed.
It often takes a lot longer to get letters of administration compared to simply organising probate with our online Will service.
It tells people what you want to happen.
A Will is your expression of how you want your assets distributed, who should be nominated as guardians and gives clear instructions to people.
It also can be used as a way to tell people what you don’t want to happen. For instance, if there is someone in your family that you do not want to benefit from your estate.
It can reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax your family will pay.
Sensible estate planning can be used as a way to mitigate the effects of inheritance tax.
Using your Will to give to charity, for example, can reduce the amount of tax the rest of the estate pays so it is worth checking this out. The smart Will App makes leaving gifts to charity quick and easy.
You get to choose your executor.
One of the things you have to do in the process of making a Will is to decide who will carry out the administration of your affairs after your death.
This person, the ‘executor’ is the fulcrum of the whole process so making a Will gets you to think about who would be most suitable for the position.
You’ll need to choose someone (or perhaps two people) who is sensible and level headed and who is happy to take on the responsibility.
Many people use professional executors and Smart Will can help you here.
It pushes you to get your affairs in order.
This might not seem like a reason for making a Will but actually, the process of making a Will does force you to think about things that you wouldn’t otherwise consider.
For example, it makes you think about how the executor will find your Will, how they will access your life insurance policies, listing your bank accounts and investments and making sure that all of the things that your executor needs will be easy to find and understand.
You can choose to gift to charity.
We’ve already said that giving to charity can reduce your inheritance tax but even if this isn’t your primary goal you may just want to make sure that a charity that you are particularly fond of will get some form of benefit.
Making a Will on The Smart Will App allows you the opportunity to recognise the good works done or to leave money that allows them to carry out a specific project.
It makes life easier for those you leave behind.
Bereavement is the most stressful time in most people’s lives and an uncertain situation when there is no Will simply compounds the problems.
Making a Will is the best way to make sure that some of these stresses are minimised.
It allows you to give your family the information they need to make the right decisions, it makes your wishes clear so they don’t need to guess and it shows them that you were thinking of them and their welfare

Ratings and Reviews
"I found the process stress-free, even fun!"
"I hadn’t gotten round to creating a will as it seemed like a huge task to undertake, so I kept putting it off. With three young children, it’s important to me to make sure they are protected if I were to die. Using the app was so easy, simple and quick. My husband and I were able to answer all questions easily and I found the process stress-free, even fun!"
"Superb will writing service"
" have thought about getting a will for a number of years but the thought of going to a solicitors has always put me off. The app makes everything so easy and the multiple choice answers make the process so straightforward.
It is excellent value for money and I would highly recommend."

"Death wishes made simple?"
"Well I was a bit sceptical but site was easy to use with only a couple of glitches along the way . I hope I’m not inundated with 3rd party offers and mailings but having read the terms and conditions: privacy notice these can if need be stopped ? We shall see?"
"Quick and straightforward way of creating a Will! "
"Got to admit, I didn’t realise the importance of having a Will at my age (I’m in my 20’s) until recently, and after creating one on this app it couldn't have been any easier! Very straightforward, quick and everything about Will’s and the different options to add onto your Will is explained on each step of the app! Highly recommend!!"
Rach Smith
"Easy to use"
"At first I thought £79 was expensive, then when I read that smart will send you an actual physical Will that you can update on your handset at any time at no extra cost, I realised it wasn’t expensive at all compared to a solicitor or will writing company. Highly Recommended!"
Claire
"Definitely recommend to anyone"
"Easy to use, quick and professional - definitely recommend to anyone looking at/thinking about writing a Will!"
Bek Jones
"So simple, great service"
"Mum needed a will and didn’t want the backwards and forwards to solicitors etc. For 19.99 we had a will we could spend time on creating. Printed it off, signed and send back for free will storage (later than supposed to be too and they still didn’t charge for will storage) Thankyou so much. Put our minds at rest for what the future could hold."
Claire
"Quick, easy and affordable."
"I wrote my will in less than 10 minutes, an received my will in the post a day later. It cost me half the price of the quote of my local solicitor."
