Basic Single Will Template

A homemade will can be fine — if your circumstances are genuinely simple and you follow the formalities to the letter. This template is for exactly that person, and honest about who it isn't for.

You get a complete self-completion will for England & Wales: every clause from revocation through executors, guardians, gifts, the residuary estate and funeral wishes, with a plain-English completion guide, a worked example, and the signing and witnessing checklist that decides whether the document works at all.

• Full clause-by-clause template with optional sections
• A clear "when NOT to use this" warning list up front
• Step-by-step completion guide with a worked example
• The strict signing and witnessing checklist, spelled out
