As of 13 August 2026, AI cannot draft a will for your blended family.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   Someone with a licence or accountable authority has to sign this before it counts.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface gets you a draft, but you cannot verify it yourself. That is the catch.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the GOV.UK guidance on making a will and note which UK jurisdiction applies to you, because the formal process differs across the UK.
   2. Gather your current family details, marriage or civil partnership information, children and stepchildren, dependants, previous wills, property ownership records, pension and life insurance details, business interests, debts and overseas assets.
   3. Paste the gathered information into the prompt, replacing each bracketed slot and marking anything unknown as unknown rather than guessing.
   4. Ask the chatbot to produce the fact summary, unresolved questions and working draft, then save the output separately from any existing will.
   5. Compare the summary against your documents and correct every name, relationship, asset and ownership detail before taking the draft to a solicitor.
   6. Send the draft and document list to a UK solicitor who handles wills and estates, ask them to resolve the flagged issues and arrange the final signing and witnessing process.

   Prompt

   You are helping me prepare questions and a working draft for a UK solicitor, not giving legal advice. This is not professional advice. Do not claim that the result is legally valid, do not choose legal provisions for me, and do not invent facts or assets.
   
   My situation:
   - Country and legal jurisdiction: [England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland]
   - My full name: [name]
   - Marriage or civil partnership status: [details]
   - Current partner or spouse: [name and relationship]
   - Children from previous relationships: [names or descriptions, ages if relevant, and relationships]
   - Children with my current partner: [names or descriptions]
   - Other people I may wish to provide for: [details]
   - Assets and debts: [plain description, including property ownership, pensions, life insurance, business interests and overseas assets]
   - People I may consider appointing as executors, trustees or guardians: [details]
   - My intended outcomes: [who I want to benefit and any concerns about protecting children, a partner, vulnerable beneficiaries or a future separation]
   - Family circumstances that may affect the will: [details]
   
   Produce:
   1. A fact-only summary of what I have told you, with a list of missing information and ambiguities.
   2. A list of decisions and questions that a UK solicitor must resolve, especially issues caused by a blended family, jointly owned property, pensions, life insurance, trusts, guardianship, dependants and possible future changes.
   3. A clearly labelled working draft in plain English, using [SQUARE BRACKETS] for every point that requires my decision or solicitor confirmation. Do not present it as a final will and do not add legal clauses unless you label them as matters for the solicitor.
   4. A signing and witnessing checklist for my solicitor to confirm for the relevant UK jurisdiction. Do not state that the checklist makes the will valid.
   5. A short list of documents and information to take to the solicitor.
   
   Keep the language neutral and precise. Separate facts I supplied from assumptions and questions. Flag anything that could cause an unfair, unexpected or disputed result. End by saying that I should have a solicitor review the draft and arrange the formal will-making process before relying on it.
