Wills
We provide expert wills services in the UK, offering tailored, professional advice to help individuals and families plan for the future with confidence. Whether you need a straightforward will or have more complex requirements involving property, business interests, or guardianship arrangements, we ensure your wishes are clearly documented and legally valid. With a thorough understanding of UK inheritance laws and a commitment to clarity and care, we guide clients through every step of the process, providing peace of mind that their assets and loved ones are protected.
General Requirements
To be legally valid in the UK, a will must meet specific legal requirements under the Wills Act 1837 (as amended). Here are the key requirements:
✅ 1. Age
- The person making the will (the testator) must be 18 years or older.
✅ 2. Mental Capacity
- The testator must have “testamentary capacity”, meaning they:
- Understand they are making a will and what a will does
- Understand the extent of their estate (assets and liabilities)
- Recognise the people who might reasonably expect to benefit
- Are not affected by any mental illness or undue influence
- Understand they are making a will and what a will does
✅ 3. Voluntary
- The will must be made voluntarily, without pressure or coercion from others.
✅ 4. In Writing
- The will must be in written form (typed or handwritten — not oral).
✅ 5. Signature
- The testator must sign the will at the endof the document.
✅ 6. Witnesses
- The signature must be made or acknowledged in the presence of two witnesses:
- Both witnesses must be present at the same time
- They must also sign the will in the testator’s presence
- Witnesses must not be beneficiaries (or married to beneficiaries), or they risk losing their inheritance
- Both witnesses must be present at the same time
✅ 7. Date
- Although not legally required, it's strongly recommended to date the willto confirm it's the latest version.
🛑 Optional but Important
- Executor appointment: Naming one or more executors to carry out the terms of the will
- Revoking previous wills: Including a clause revoking any earlier wills or codicils
Important Caselaw
Here’s a list of important UK case law relating to wills — covering formation, capacity, undue influence, interpretation, and execution. I’ve included key facts and principles so they’re actually useful in practice.
1. Banks v Goodfellow (1870) LR 5 QB 549
- Principle: Established the test for testamentary capacity.
- Test: The testator must:
- Understand the nature of making a will and its effects.
- Understand the extent of their property.
- Comprehend and appreciate the claims to which they ought to give effect.
- Not be affected by any disorder of the mind influencing their dispositions.
2. Gill v Woodall [2010] EWCA Civ 1430
- Principle: Court can set aside a will if the terms do not reflect the testator’s true intentions, especially where there is undue influence or a mistake.
- Point: Raises the bar for proving undue influence — it requires coercion, not mere persuasion.
3. Re Key [2010] EWHC 408 (Ch)
- Principle: Testamentary capacity can be affected by grief and bereavement.
- Facts: Husband made will shortly after wife’s death; found to lack capacity due to impaired mental state.
4. Marley v Rawlings [2014] UKSC 2
- Principle: Rectification of wills under s.20 Administration of Justice Act 1982.
- Facts: Husband and wife accidentally signed each other’s wills. Court rectified them to reflect intentions.
5. Ilott v The Blue Cross & Others [2017] UKSC 17
- Principle: Limits on the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975.
- Facts: Estranged adult child successfully claimed reasonable provision, but SC reduced award.
6. Edwards v Edwards [2007] WTLR 1387
- Principle: Strong illustration of undue influence — coercion must overpower free will.
7. Re Edwards [2007] EWHC 1119 (Ch)
- Principle: Burden of proof in undue influence claims rests on the person alleging it.
8. Re T (Adult: Refusal of Medical Treatment) [1992] 4 All ER 649
- Relevance: While not directly about wills, it’s often cited on undue influence and mental capacity.
9. Simon v Byford [2014] EWCA Civ 280
- Principle: Testamentary capacity is judged at the time of execution, not later deterioration.
10. Re Flynn [1982] Ch 401
- Principle: Mistakes in execution can invalidate a will if formalities under s.9 Wills Act 1837 aren’t met.
