More than a will - the UK legacy platform for wills
We don't just help you write a will. We help your family to find it.
Online will + Family Vault + Executor Notification - all in one place. Most will services stop at the document. We don't.

Six plain-English questions and a clear recommendation - no email required, no obligation.
The three things that go wrong
Most wills don't fail because they're wrong. They fail because no-one can find them.
A will forgotten in a drawer
It was written carefully, then filed away. Years later, nobody remembers exactly where - or whether it was ever updated. The instructions never reach the people who needed them.
Executors who don't know where to start
Insurance, deeds, pensions, online accounts, funeral wishes - executors open drawers and hope. Important policies get missed. Subscriptions keep running. Photos vanish behind forgotten logins.
A family left confused at the worst possible time
In the weeks after a death, families are already grieving. Hunting through paperwork, second-guessing each other, missing deadlines - none of it is what your loved one would have wanted.
How Trusted Hands fixes it
Five things, in one place, working together.
We don't just help you write a will. We help you choose your executors, keep everything current as life changes, store the important documents your family will need, and make sure the right people know where to go when the time comes.
1. Create the will
Build a legally compliant UK will online, guided by our Smart Will Engine. Print-ready in 15-30 minutes. Wills Act 1837 compliant. From from £49.00.
2. Choose your executors
Appoint up to four executors and name substitutes during the build. We email them a secure portal link so they know they've been chosen and where to go when the time comes.
3. Keep it updated
Marriage, children, a new home, a change of heart - life moves. Re-issue your will any time with our annual subscription; older versions are automatically retired.
4. Store the important documents
Insurance policies, deeds, identity papers, financial accounts, funeral wishes, letters of wishes - in your encrypted Family Vault, organised by category, ready to share.
5. Executors know where to go
When the time comes, your executor's portal unlocks. The will, the Executor Pack, the checklist, the documents you chose to share - all already there. No drawer-rifling, no guesswork.
“We don't just help you write a will - we help your executors know where to go when the time comes.”
Private & protected
Your secrets stay yours. Until the moment they shouldn't.
While you're alive
Only you can see your will, your draft, the documents in your vault. The people you appoint as executors receive nothing more than a short note saying they've been chosen. The portal stays locked - even with the link.
You can change executors, beneficiaries, gifts, or stored documents any time. Nobody else has to know.
When the time comes
Your executor notifies Trusted Hands, with documentation, that you have died. Once verified, the portal unlocks for only the people you appointed. They find the signed will, the Executor Pack, your asset register, and the documents you chose to share.
Your wishes are enforced - because the right people can actually find them.

The full picture, in one place
Wills are the foundation - and we have builders for putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place, alongside related services for protective trusts, executors and document reviews.

- ✓ Executor Pack & probate guidance

An honest word
We're new - and we'd rather earn your trust than fake it.
You won't find stock testimonials on this page. Trusted Hands is a new UK service and we'd rather tell you exactly how the model works than dress it up with reviews we haven't earned yet. Here's what you're getting into.
Free until you're sure
The builder is free to start, free to save, free to come back to. You see the full draft and the inheritance preview before you pay anything. Payment only happens at download.
Wills Act 1837 compliant
Every will is structured to meet the legal requirements of the Wills Act 1837 for England & Wales. Guided Witness Mode walks you through the two-witness signing so it stands up at probate.
Not a firm of solicitors
We're transparent about what we are: a UK will-writing service, not a regulated law firm. Our Complexity Detector flags scenarios where a solicitor's advice is the right call - we'd rather point you elsewhere than push you through a process that doesn't fit.
Built by people you can contact
Email sales@starlightweb.co.uk with any question and a real person will reply - usually within one working day. We read every email and use the most-asked questions to improve the FAQ.
Common questions
Frequently asked
Is a will I write online actually legal?
Yes - provided it is signed and witnessed correctly. Trusted Hands produces a will that follows the requirements of the Wills Act 1837 (England & Wales). We provide a step-by-step witness guide so the signing is done properly.
Are you a firm of solicitors?
No. Trusted Hands is a will-writing service, not a regulated law firm. Our advisors are trained will writers but do not provide regulated legal advice.
Who can be a witness?
Two adults who are not beneficiaries of your will, nor married to or in a civil partnership with one. Both must be present at the same time when you sign. Friends, neighbours and colleagues are usually fine.
How long does it take?
Most people complete a self-service will in 15-30 minutes. An assisted appointment with an advisor typically lasts 60 minutes.
What if my circumstances change?
You can come back any time and create a new draft - the new signed will revokes the old one. With our annual subscription (which also unlocks Family Vault for insurance, deeds and more), unlimited updates are included for a small annual fee. We'll also nudge you if you record a major life event.
How is my data protected?
Files in your Digital Vault are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We're UK GDPR compliant. You can request export or deletion at any time. Read our privacy notice.
Your wishes matter - so does making them easy to find.
Start free - you only pay when you're ready to download. A will tells people what you want; the Family Vault and Executor Service help the right people actually find it when the time comes.
