Yes. When you complete the form, Swiftwills drafts your will for you. Once it’s signed and witnessed correctly using our instructions, it becomes legally binding.

We include clear signing and witnessing instructions so you know exactly what to do.
A Swiftwills will costs £75 for a single will or £125 for couple wills, this includes clear signing instructions and free updates for the first year.
You should never edit a signed will by hand. If your circumstances change, you should create an updated version so everything remains clear and valid.
Updates are free for the first year. After that, you only pay £10 in any year you choose to make changes. No automatic subscriptions.
