How Fast Track works
Fast Track is designed for couples who already have a clear and shared sense of what they want to put in place.
It offers a structured way for you both to submit your instructions, followed by a careful professional review to ensure everything works as intended — individually and together. The process is efficient and focused, without losing the care or attention that matters when preparing important documents.
You won’t need to attend a meeting unless it becomes clear that further discussion would be helpful. Instead, the work is guided through clear forms, written feedback, and review, allowing your wishes to be shaped and checked in a straightforward way — so you can move forward with clarity and confidence, at a pace that suits you both.
This service is provided as part of Elephant Legal’s non-reserved legal services. Find out more about how we are regulated.
A clear, structured route — carefully reviewed, without unnecessary meetings.
Your journey with Fast Track
1. Getting started
Once you choose Fast Track, we confirm the details for you both and make sure everything needed to begin is in place.
You’ll receive clear information about the process, pricing, and what to expect, along with the necessary client care documents. Identity checks are completed for each of you so the matter can proceed securely and properly.
Although you may be planning together, you are each giving your own instructions and putting your own will in place. Nothing is drafted at this stage — it’s about setting the foundations correctly, ensuring independence is respected, and making sure everything is aligned before work begins.
2. Sharing your instructions
You’ll each complete a clear, structured form to set out your wishes in your own words.
Guidance is built in throughout, and if anything needs clarification — individually or jointly — we’ll come back to you in writing.
An initial fee is taken once your instructions are submitted. This secures the time and professional review needed to consider both wills carefully.
Once your instructions are clear and the scope of work is agreed for both wills, the total fee is confirmed, including any additional work required to properly reflect your wishes.
3. Review and drafting
Once the scope of work and total agreed fee are confirmed, payment is requested.
Drafting begins once payment has been received.
Your instructions are then prepared carefully into two draft wills, each reflecting what has been agreed, ready for you both to review.
4. Finalising and completion
You’ll each have the opportunity to request changes and confirm the final wording of your will.
Once everything is agreed and the remaining balance has been received, we guide you both through the final steps so your wills can be signed and properly completed.
Support remains available for you both right through to completion.
Careful review, not shortcuts
Fast Track is designed to be efficient, but it is never automated or unchecked.
Every set of instructions is read carefully and reviewed with professional judgement. If something is unclear, incomplete, or doesn’t quite work as intended — individually or together — we pause and come back to you in writing to talk it through before anything is drafted.
That’s because clarity matters. Preparing important documents isn’t about speed for its own sake — it’s about making sure what’s put in place genuinely reflects each of your wishes and works properly in practice.
Fast Track simply removes unnecessary steps, not the care or attention given to your instructions.
Ready to move forward?
If Fast Track feels like the right fit, you can begin by submitting your instructions online. We’ll confirm the next steps for you both and guide you carefully through the process from there.
Flexibility built in — with space to review, adjust, and ask for support if needed.
-
Yes. Each of you completes your own structured form so your individual instructions are recorded clearly.
Where your wishes align, this will be reflected during review, but each will is prepared from that person’s own instructions.
-
Yes. While many couples move through the process together, each set of instructions is reviewed individually.
If one of you needs more time, that can be accommodated.
-
That’s completely fine. Each of you is entitled to give instructions independently.
If either of you would prefer to clarify something separately, that can be arranged discreetly.
-
That’s not a problem. If it becomes clear that a discussion would be helpful, we can agree the best way to continue.
Fast Track is structured for efficiency, but it doesn’t prevent additional support if needed.
-
Timeframes depend on how quickly forms are completed and instructions confirmed.
Because Fast Track avoids meetings in most cases, it can often move more quickly once everything is clear and agreed.
-
Fast Track works best for couples who already have a clear sense of their wishes and feel comfortable setting those out in writing.
If you’d prefer more discussion before submitting instructions, another route may be a better fit.
