As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly compare online will writing services in the UK.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Write down your circumstances and priorities, including children, previous relationships, property outside the UK, a business, trusts, vulnerable beneficiaries or tax concerns.
   2. Open the current UK pages for each service you are considering and copy the relevant service description, price, terms, legal-review information, signing guidance, storage details, cancellation terms, complaints process and privacy information.
   3. Label every pasted extract with the provider name and source page, then put all the material into a chatbot with the copyable prompt.
   4. Ask the chatbot to separate stated facts from missing information and to compare total charges, amendments, legal review and support for complex circumstances rather than ranking providers by marketing language.
   5. Compare every price, feature and regulatory claim in the generated table with the provider page you copied, and check any claimed solicitor or regulated-firm status on the relevant UK official register.
   6. Use the unanswered questions to contact shortlisted providers, keep their written replies with your comparison, and ask a solicitor for advice before choosing if your circumstances are not straightforward.

   Prompt

   Compare the UK online will writing services in the material below. Use only the supplied material and clearly label anything missing, unclear or inconsistent. Do not invent prices, legal protections, accreditation, customer outcomes or features.
   
   My circumstances and priorities are: [briefly describe whether this is a simple will, mirror wills, children, a blended family, a business, property outside the UK, trusts, a disabled beneficiary, a vulnerable person, tax concerns or anything else relevant].
   
   Services and sources:
   [Paste the current provider pages, terms, privacy information, cancellation terms, complaints process, legal-review details and price information for each service. Include the provider name and source page for every extract.]
   
   Produce:
   1. A concise comparison table covering will types, complex-family or trust support, solicitor or legal review, checking for mistakes, amendments, signing and witnessing guidance, storage, cancellation, complaints, privacy, total price and ongoing or hidden charges.
   2. A separate list of claims that are missing, ambiguous, contradictory or need checking directly with the provider.
   3. The main advantages and limitations of each service, tied to the supplied evidence.
   4. Questions I should ask each provider before paying.
   5. A cautious recommendation based only on my stated priorities, or say that no recommendation is justified.
   
   Do not tell me which service is legally suitable and do not draft a will. State plainly that this is not professional advice and that I should ask a solicitor about complex circumstances or uncertainty about validity.
