Yes, provided it is correctly executed. A will is legally valid in England and Wales under the Wills Act 1837 if it is made in writing by a person aged 18 or over with mental capacity, signed by the testator, and witnessed by two independent adults who are both present at the time of signing and sign the will themselves in the testator’s presence.
The way a will is drafted, whether online, by a solicitor, or by a professional will writer, does not affect its legal validity. What matters is the content and the execution. Our wills are drafted using Arken, the same professional platform used by UK law firms, and are fully compliant with the formal requirements of the Wills Act.
Our execution guide, provided with every will, explains exactly how to sign your will correctly. We recommend reading it carefully before you sign.
