Making a Simple Will in the UK

A will lets you decide who gets your property, money, and possessions when you die.

What to include:

  • Who gets what
  • Who will look after your children (if any)
  • Your executor (person handling your estate)

To be valid:

  • You must be over 18 and of sound mind
  • It must be signed and witnessed by two people (who aren’t beneficiaries)

You can write your own or use a solicitor for extra peace of mind.
