Last Will & Testament Software

Have you made your Will? Should you die without making a Will, 'intestate', your property will be distributed according to law and not necessarily as you would have wished.

By making a Will, you can decide for yourself who is to inherit your estate. This software provides background on the law of intestacy and draws the user's attention to all the important considerations and procedures in Will-making.

A guide provides guidance on preparing your own Will without going to a solicitor and ready-drafted template Will Forms for filling out and printing off are included. The software features user-friendly menus and all the advantages of pdf and Word technologies.

Approved by Leolin Price CBE QC and Richard Dew of Ten Old Square, Lincoln's Inn, under English law, by John Thompson QC under the law of Northern Ireland and by Neill, Clerk & Murray, solicitors, under Scottish law.

Valid in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
