Which NobleWills Service Is Right for You?

NobleWills is a Cross Border Will-writing service designed to help individuals and families prepare a legally valid Will in a simple, clear, and structured way.

We currently offer two types of Will-writing services:

• Basic and Advanced Online Will Service
• Premium Will Service

Choosing the right service depends on your personal circumstances, including where you are domiciled, the complexity of your estate, and whether you have existing Wills.

Our Online Will Services

Our online Will platform is built for individuals with straightforward estate-planning needs. Unlike generic templates, every Will created on our platform is reviewed by a Will specialist to ensure it meets legal requirements. If we identify any issues, we will contact you by email. The online service is available in two tiers:

• Basic Online Will
• Advanced Online Will (includes confirmation of your identity, a video consultation, and option to add Country Specific Wills)

The sections below will help you determine which option may be suitable for you.

1. Where Are You Domiciled?

In general terms, domicile refers to the country you regard as your long-term home and with which you have a substantial connection.

• If you are domiciled in England and Wales, either our Basic or Advanced Online Will service may be suitable.
• If you are domiciled outside England and Wales, you should choose our Advanced Online Will service so that we can review your situation more carefully.

2. You Want Your Will to Cover England and Wales Assets Only

Our Basic online Will service is designed primarily to cover England and Wales assets. It will also extend to assets in other jurisdictions that recognise foreign Wills, and it will revoke any Will that you have made in the past, including those written in another country.

If you hold assets in multiple countries but intend for your England and Wales Will to deal with England and Wales assets only, our Advanced Online Will may be suitable. This includes a video consultation during which we can discuss how to structure your Will to avoid unintentionally affecting your overseas estate planning.

We are continuously expanding our platform to include jurisdiction-specific Wills, and additional options will be introduced over time. If you currently hold assets overseas and require a country-specific Will, you may contact us directly and we will advise whether we are able to assist for that jurisdiction.

3. You Have an Existing Will

• If you have an existing Will and intend to revoke it and replace it, you may use our online Will service. The Will prepared through NobleWills will then become your new Will, and you should ensure the previous Will is properly destroyed.
• If you have an existing Will made in another jurisdiction and do not wish to revoke it, our Advanced Online Will allows us to tailor your England and Wales Will so that it does not revoke your overseas Will.

4. You Have a More Complex Estate

Our online Will platform is designed for straightforward estate distributions.

If your situation involves:

• Complex asset structures
• Require multiple layers of distributions in your Will

our online services may not be suitable. In these cases, we recommend our Premium Will Service, where you can discuss your circumstances directly with our Will specialists.

5. Health and Capacity Considerations

If you are:

• Terminally ill, or
• Suffering from serious mental or medical conditions

we strongly recommend that you contact a medical practitioner before signing your Will.

If you are unable to sign a Will using a pen, unfortunately we would not be able to assist, as we are primarily an online Will service. In this situation, we recommend contacting a local law firm, who would be better placed to assist you with creating a Will.

Choosing the right Will-writing service helps ensure your wishes are clear, legally effective, and easier for your loved ones to carry out. If you are unsure which option is suitable, our team is happy to guide you.

What is the difference between the Basic and Advanced Online Will?
