MyWishes will writing software is simple to use. Answer the questions asked using our unique and interactive Last Will & Testament template. Once completed download the document (as a PDF) and either share it with one of our partner solicitor firms or share the document with your own solicitor.
If you do decide to share your document with one of the fully qualified and insured MyWishes solicitors they will review your document and call you for a private consultation using Skype, Google hangouts or over the phone.
Once reviewed, the solicitor will email your completed Last Will & Testament to you. To make the documentation legally binding you will need to sign the document in front of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries of your estate. Your two chosen witnesses will need to countersign your the Last Will & Testament to make it legally binding.

Why you should use a solicitor
Solicitors are fully trained, qualified, regulated and insured. The quality of the advice, documentation and support provided is therefore of a very high standard. Using a solicitor may help reduce the stress for those left behind whilst proving you and your loved ones with greater peace of mind.
Other online will writing software do not work with qualified solicitors. Instead documents created are either not checked or they are reviewed by an unqualified and uninsured “legal expert”. These services are not regulated, the service provided is not insured and there is no formal or accredited training needed to become a ‘legal expert’.
MyWishes provides a hybrid service that reduces the time needed by a solicitor. This saves our user’s money whilst providing them with a premium service.

Assigning gifts and sharing the love on social media
