Single will

A will made by one person.

A single will sets out how your estate is distributed when you die. Suitable for straightforward situations - single people, simple finances, or the first will you have ever written. Includes gifts, executors and guardians for children.

Wills Act 1837 compliant Two-witness execution checklist Encrypted Digital Vault Free Executor Pack Built in the UK
We're a UK will-writing service, not a firm of solicitors. Most estates don't need one - but if yours does, our Complexity Detector flags it during the build. We'd rather point you to a solicitor than push you through a process that doesn't fit. Read our legal disclaimers →

What's included

Build it online at your own pace

After you sign

Your will is only the start.

Every Trusted Hands will is wired into the same legacy system: executors notified automatically, documents stored alongside the will, and a secure portal that unlocks for your executors when the time comes.

1. You choose your executor(s)

Appoint up to four executors as you build your will, plus named substitutes in case your first choice can't act. Friend, family member or professional - your call.

2. They're emailed automatically

The moment you finalise your will, each executor receives a calm, clear email explaining they've been appointed and what happens next. They see no documents while you're alive.

3. Family Vault stays with you

Add insurance policies, deeds, identity papers, financial accounts, funeral wishes and letters of wishes to your encrypted vault. You control what's shareable and what stays private.

4. Vault unlocks when the time comes

After a death is confirmed, your executor portal unlocks. They find the will, the Executor Pack, a live checklist and the documents you chose to share - all in one place. No drawer-rifling.

Who is a single will for?

If you are not married or in a civil partnership, or if your circumstances differ from your partner's, a single will is the simplest and clearest option. You can always upgrade to a Mirror, Joint or Mutual will later.

More than a will

Every Trusted Hands will is wired into a legacy system that goes beyond the document itself. Add the Family Vault with the annual subscription to store insurance policies, deeds and the other documents your executors will actually need - all in one encrypted place, ready to share via the secure executor portal when the time comes.
