Majority of People Still Choosing Solicitors for Their Wills Despite Competitive Market | Today’s Wills and Probate

Despite the rise of online will-writing services and DIY will kits, a recent survey has revealed that the majority of people in England and Wales still prefer to use solicitors to draft their wills.

The survey, conducted by a leading legal publication, found that 65% of respondents said they would turn to a solicitor for their will-writing needs, compared to just 20% who said they would use an online service and 15% who would opt for a DIY kit.

Experts believe that the preference for solicitors stems from the complexity of will-writing and the importance of ensuring that the document is legally sound and accurately reflects the individual’s wishes. Solicitors are trained professionals who can provide tailored advice and guidance to clients, helping them navigate the intricacies of estate planning.

Despite the crowded market and the availability of alternative options, solicitors continue to be the trusted choice for many when it comes to will-writing. This trend highlights the enduring value of legal expertise in an age of increasing digitalization and automation.

As the demand for will-writing services remains strong, solicitors are likely to continue playing a key role in helping individuals protect their assets and secure their legacies for future generations.
