How does it work?

Wills

You can create a will online or by telephone in just a few easy steps, with Farewill there to contact if you have questions. And as a TSB customer, you have access to a discount to make this service even more affordable.

Is Farewill’s will service right for me?

It's important to note that Farewill provide will writing guidance – they don't provide legal advice or check you've executed your will correctly. Also, if you have a large estate or require tax advice, you may wish to consider whether this service is suitable for you or contact a lawyer first.

Farewill's will service isn’t right for everyone, partly because of the legal requirements in the UK. The following groups of people cannot currently use their online and telephone will service:

  • People who don't have the understanding or ability to make a will.
  • People living outside the UK.
  • People who are significantly visually impaired, blind or unable to read and write.
     

Is writing a will online right for me?

Farewill's online will service isn’t ready for the following groups of people yet; however, they may be able to use Farewill's telephone will service in the meantime.

  • People living in Scotland and Northern Ireland, as laws are different in these areas.
  • People with disabled dependants.
  • People with estates outside the UK.
 

Where possible, we’d like these services to be accessible to everyone. If you have any additional support needs, please let us know and we’ll aim to support where we can. If you are blind or visually impaired, you may wish to visit the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) website which has information on alternative will writing solutions.

 
 
 
 
 

Writing a will online

Farewill's simple and secure online form breaks everything down into a few manageable steps. After a short welcome survey to check your suitability, you’ll be guided through each section of writing your will.

Farewill’s specialist team will then help check your answers to make sure your wishes are easy to understand. If there’s anything that could be clearer, they’ll reach out to share guidance on what you could change and why.

Online wills are currently only available to customers based in England and Wales.

 
 
 
 

Writing a will by telephone

You can also write your will with one of Farewill’s specialists over the phone using their telephone-based will service. They’ll type in the details you request but it’s important to note they don't provide legal advice. The will is then sent out in the post for you to check and sign alongside the two witnesses (or one witness in Scotland).

Prices vary between online and phone wills; you should check the What does it cost section before choosing the right option for you. Telephone wills are available to customers across the UK.

 

 
 
 

Making changes to your will

You may wish to make changes to your will, such as when you move to a new house or have children. Farewill allows you to make free updates to your will for the first year - then you will have the option to pay £10 a year after that to continue this service. If you choose not to continue, you can still update your will in the future which costs the same price as a new will.

The changes included are limited to updating your contact details, beneficiaries, executors or assets in your will. You can make these changes as many times as you want.

However, if you have a bigger change to your estate, such as requiring a new family trust, then this is unlikely to be covered. We recommend you get in touch with the Farewill team to discuss any questions on 020 8050 2686.
