How to choose your route

Choosing how to create your wills as a couple isn’t always straightforward. You may find that one of you feels drawn to one approach, while the other prefers something different — or you may simply be unsure which route fits best.

All three options include professional advice and careful review. Your wills are 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 together 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.

Each will is prepared with professional oversight and careful review. Your instructions — whether given jointly or separately — 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 two legally prepared wills, 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 — together as a couple.

How they compare

Fast Track

How you begin

You complete a structured instruction form together, setting out your decisions clearly from the outset. Each of you provides your own instructions, even where many of those decisions are shared.

How advice is given

Advice is provided in writing. If anything is unclear, incomplete, or unlikely to work as intended — whether in one set of instructions or both — we return to you for clarification before drafting.

Who it suits

Couples who have largely formed their decisions and are comfortable setting out their 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.

Two draft wills are then prepared and sent to you for review, with any agreed amendments incorporated before finalisation.

Cost and payment

£280*

£85 is payable at the time of booking, with the remaining £195 — being the balance of the £280 fee — payable before drafting begins.

Guided

How you begin

You book a dedicated appointment to talk through your situation together 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. Each of you has the opportunity to ask questions and ensure your instructions are clear.

Who it suits

Couples 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. Your decisions are discussed in a dedicated advisory meeting before drafting begins. There is space to explore options, ask questions, and reflect.

Cost and payment

£340*

£110 is payable at the time of booking, with the remaining £230 — being the balance of the £340 fee — payable before drafting begins.

Supported

How you begin

You begin by setting out your situation and initial decisions in writing, together or separately as you prefer.

How advice is given

Advice is provided in writing, with considered responses that explore options and clarify the implications of different choices before drafting. Each of you can reflect, respond, and refine your instructions at your own pace.

Who it suits

Couples 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.

Cost and payment

£340*

Additional services

* The fees above reflect a standard Wills for Two 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 have a clear sense between you of what you would like your wills to say and are comfortable setting that out in writing, Fast Track may feel the most straightforward route.

If you would prefer to talk things through together before fixing decisions, or would value space to explore options and implications in conversation, Guided offers time for a dedicated appointment.

If you would rather reflect in writing and shape your decisions gradually, Supported allows your instructions to develop through considered written exchange, without a live meeting.

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