- Home visits as standard — kettle on, no need to travel
- Evenings & Saturdays — appointments to suit your week

Three simple steps
How it works
From first call to signed will, most clients are sorted within ten days — without leaving their living room.
1
Free consultation
Call, email or book online. We’ll arrange a free, no-obligation chat — either at your home or by video, whichever suits.
2
Plain-English advice
We’ll talk through your wishes, your family, and your assets, then explain your options without legalese or sales pressure.
3
Sign & store
We draft your will, return for a second visit to sign it correctly with witnesses, and offer free secure storage so it’s never lost.
What our clients say
Trusted by families across the North
★★★★★
“Came to our home, explained everything in plain English and didn’t try to sell us anything we didn’t need. Fixed price, no surprises. Best money I’ve ever spent for the peace of mind.”
★★★★★
“After Mum’s diagnosis we needed to sort her affairs out fast. Will Guard arranged a home visit within 48 hours and were incredibly patient. Could not recommend them more highly.”
★★★★★
“Blended family, two businesses and a holiday cottage in the Lakes — not the simplest brief. They handled it brilliantly and explained the trust options without making us feel daft for asking.”

Common questions
Wills & estate planning — the basics
How much does a will cost?
Our single wills start at £95 and mirror wills (for couples) at £160. Complex wills involving trusts, blended families or business interests are quoted on a fixed-fee basis after the free consultation, so you always know the price before you commit.
What happens if I die without a will?
You’d be classed as dying “intestate”, and the intestacy rules would decide who inherits — not you. Unmarried partners, stepchildren and friends inherit nothing under those rules, which is why even a simple will makes such a difference.
Do you come to my home?
Yes — home visits are our standard service and there’s no extra charge for them anywhere in the North East or North West. We also offer telephone and video appointments if you’d prefer.
Are you regulated?
Will writing in England and Wales isn’t a reserved legal activity, so it isn’t regulated in the same way as solicitors are by the SRA. We’re full members of the Society of Will Writers and bound by their Code of Practice and complaints procedure, and we carry £2 million of professional indemnity insurance for your protection.
