Half of the UK's population die without having made a Will.

Those who have bought this kit since its launch in 1994 will tell you that drawing up a Will does not need to be complicated or expensive, but a staggering one person in two in the UK still dies without having prepared this important document.

This is the quick, economical and legally valid way to draw up a Will and to ensure your property goes where you want it to after death. It provides background on the law of intestacy and explains all the important considerations and procedures in making your Will.

It's a good idea to review your Will regularly so that it's always up to date.

As detailed below, the kit contains a variety of ready-to-complete paper Will forms. There is also a CD with a wide range of other documents related to Wills, which you can print out from your computer.

This kit has been approved by Leolin Price CBE QC and Richard Dew of Ten Old Square, Lincoln's Inn, under English law, and by Neill, Clerk & Murray, solicitors, under Scottish law.

For use in England & Wales, Scotland and Northen Ireland.
