How to choose your route

Different ways of working together, with the same careful standard throughout.

How to choose your route

Choosing how to create your will isn’t always straightforward. You may recognise parts of yourself in more than one approach, or feel unsure which route fits best.

All three options include professional advice and careful review. Your will is always prepared with attention, clarity, and oversight. The difference lies in how that advice is given — whether through structured forms, written guidance, or a dedicated conversation to talk things through before anything is drafted.

Each route is simply a different way of working together.

What stays the same

Whichever route you choose, the standard of care does not change.

Every will is prepared with professional oversight and careful review. Instructions are read closely and considered with judgement, not processed automatically. If something is unclear, incomplete, or unlikely to work as intended, we pause and return to you before anything is finalised.

Each route results in a legally prepared will, drafted clearly and structured to work in practice — not just in theory.

The same safeguarding and identification checks apply throughout. The same attention to clarity, wording, and practical detail is given in every case.

The difference between the routes is not the quality of the outcome, but how we work together to reach it.

How they compare

Fast Track

How you begin

You complete a structured instruction form, setting out your decisions clearly from the outset.

How advice is given

Advice is provided in writing. If anything is unclear, incomplete, or unlikely to work as intended, we return to you for clarification before drafting.

Who it suits

Those who have largely formed their decisions and are comfortable setting out instructions in writing.

How it works

Efficient and structured. You provide clear written instructions, and the process moves forward once these are confirmed. Clarification is given where needed, but there is no dedicated advisory meeting. A draft will is then prepared and sent to you for review, with any agreed amendments incorporated before finalisation.

Cost and payment

£190*

£60 is payable at the time of booking, with the remaining £130 — being the balance of the £190 fee — payable before drafting begins.

Guided

How you begin

You book an appointment to talk through your situation and the decisions you would like to make.

How advice is given

Advice is provided during the meeting, with space to explore options, consider alternatives, and clarify the implications of different choices before drafting.

Who it suits

Those who would value time to talk things through before fixing their decisions, or who would like guidance while shaping their instructions.

How it works

Measured and considered. Decisions are discussed in a dedicated advisory meeting before drafting begins. There is space to explore options, ask questions, and reflect. A draft will is then prepared and sent to you for review, with any agreed amendments incorporated before finalisation.

Cost and payment

£240*

£70 is payable at the time of booking, with the remaining £170 — being the balance of the £240 fee — payable before drafting begins.

Supported

How you begin

You begin by setting out your situation and initial decisions in writing.

How advice is given

Advice is provided in writing, with considered responses that explore options and clarify the implications of different choices before drafting.

Who it suits

Those who prefer to reflect in writing and would value guidance without a live meeting.

How it works

Steady and responsive. Decisions are shaped through written exchange, with space to ask questions and consider alternatives before drafting begins. A draft will is then prepared once instructions are confirmed and sent to you for review, with any agreed amendments incorporated before finalisation.

Cost and payment

£240*

£70 is payable at the time of booking, with the remaining £170 — being the balance of the £240 fee — payable before drafting begins.

Additional services

* The fees above reflect a standard Wills for One service. If your situation requires additional drafting or related legal steps, this will always be discussed with you before any work begins. Read more about potential additional services.

All three routes lead to the same careful outcome. The difference is simply how you prefer to work.

If you’re unsure

If you already know what you want your will to say and are comfortable setting that out clearly in writing, Fast Track may feel the most straightforward route.

If you tend to think things through by talking them over, or would value space to explore options before fixing decisions, Guided offers time for a dedicated conversation.

If you prefer to reflect in writing and would like advice without a live meeting, Supported allows decisions to be shaped through considered written exchange.

All three routes lead to the same careful outcome. The difference is simply how you would prefer to work.
