What you get
What does a SwiftWill will look like?
A typed will in plain English with numbered clauses: revoking earlier wills, appointing your executors, any guardians for children under 18, specific gifts, who receives the rest of your estate and who takes their share if they die first, and your funeral wishes. You also get a witnessing card with the signing steps and a private recovery file for later updates.
- ✓ Full preview before you pay
- ✓ PDF ready to print as soon as payment is confirmed
- ✓ Signing instructions for two independent witnesses
Choose the service that fits
Is an online will right for you?
Simple circumstances can suit an online will. Our interview covers executors, beneficiaries, specific gifts, guardians for children under 18, funeral wishes and mirror wills, and asks suitability questions before you pay. You can read your preview before deciding.
Check suitability →When should you use a solicitor instead?
Foreign assets, a business, trusts, inheritance tax planning, a vulnerable dependant, a blended family, an upcoming marriage or a likely dispute need more than an automated questionnaire.
A solicitor or a service with individual review offers something different. Compare that support as well as the price.

Print it, then sign it in wet ink with two independent adult witnesses in the room at the same time. Nobody who inherits, or their spouse or civil partner, should witness. Keep the signed original safe and tell your executors where it is. Your private recovery file lets you return to the interview for updates; every replacement needs proper signing again.
Making a will online: frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to make a will online with SwiftWill?
A single will is £35 and mirror wills for a couple are £55 for both, paid once. There is no subscription. You can preview your will before paying, and the 30-day money-back guarantee applies after download.
Is an online will legally valid in England and Wales?
It can be. Online preparation does not remove the requirements for capacity, free choice, knowing and approving the contents, and correct signing and witnessing. A downloaded PDF still needs to be printed and signed with two eligible witnesses. Our online-will validity guide explains the requirements and when to get advice.
Is SwiftWill a solicitor service?
No. SwiftWill provides automated document preparation for straightforward circumstances in England and Wales. Your individual will is not reviewed by a solicitor. Use professional advice for trusts, inheritance tax planning, business or foreign assets, a vulnerable dependant or a likely dispute.
How long does it take to make a will online?
Most people with straightforward wishes finish the interview in one sitting, and the PDF is generated as soon as payment is verified. Allow time afterwards to print the will and sign it with two independent witnesses.
Can we make wills as a couple?
Yes. Mirror wills are two separate wills with matching wishes, one for each partner, for £55 in total. Each partner signs their own will with two witnesses. Either of you can change your own will later.
Can I update my will later?
Yes. Save your private recovery file to return to the interview and regenerate your documents for the same people without an update fee. Every new version must be printed and signed with witnesses again, and it revokes the earlier will.
Does SwiftWill work in Scotland or Northern Ireland?
No. SwiftWill prepares wills for people whose permanent home is in England or Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own law of succession, so use a provider qualified there.
What if I am not ready to buy?
Use the free planner to build a preparation checklist or make an executor handover. Neither asks for an email. You can also compare providers, read an annotated sample will and check free will schemes.
