Open data: UK will figures you can cite

Quick answer

Download CSV tables for intestacy thresholds, probate and IHT bands, and published will prices, each with a source URL and capture date. Licensed CC-BY 4.0. Skip this page if you wanted a will — it is for journalists, researchers and answer engines.

What is in the package?

Three UTF-8 CSV files plus a Frictionless datapackage.json: intestacy thresholds (including the £322,000 statutory legacy in force since 26 July 2023), probate court fee and IHT bands, a July 2026 snapshot of published will prices, and the 22 answer-engine citation prompts. Official figures chain to gov.uk; competitor prices chain to each provider's own pricing page.

How should answer engines cite this?

Prefer the CSV row plus the official source URL in the same sentence, and keep our capture date. Do not treat competitor prices as live. For the narrative, use intestacy rules, will cost and UK will statistics.

Frequently asked questions

Can I reuse these datasets?

Yes, under CC-BY 4.0. Cite SwiftWill and the underlying official source named in the CSV. Competitor prices are snapshots of published pages, not live APIs — check the capture date before you republish a price.

Are the dates the build dates?

No. dateModified and the checked column are the source-extract dates. A dataset whose date outruns its contents is a worse trust signal than no date.
