We want to remove that barrier. Our free templates are most suitable for less complicated estates that are valued below the IHT nil rate band when no tax would be paid. Our commercial motivation is simply that once you have used a Net Lawman Will, we hope that you return to us for legal documents for other aspects of your personal or business life.
Providing a complete, commonly used, free template that is based on our more complex paid versions is a great way for our visitors to assess the quality of our documents.
Note that our free templates do not contain provisions that seek to minimise tax. If this is important to you, you should look at the other Net Lawman last Will and testament templates, a number of which cover basic IHT planning largely as illustrated by HM Revenue and Customs. When you use our online Will writing service, our software creates your Will for you, based on the answers you give in our questionnaire. We save your answers every time you move to a new page, so if you want to take a break at any point, you can return later without having to start from the beginning.
When you have completed the questionnaire, you can choose for your will to be e-mailed to you immediately in Microsoft Word format compatible with many different word processors , or you can arrange for an experienced Will writer to review your document so that you have confidence that it is legally sound and that your wishes will be followed.
If you choose our review service, we aim to check your Will and return it to you within 72 hours. Creating your Will using our software is free, but there is a cost for the optional review service.
