What’s the SRA?
It’s the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and it regulates solicitors and law firms in England and Wales. We follow its principles and code of conduct, so you can trust our integrity, and know we always act in our clients’ best interests. Most online Will builders aren’t made by companies regulated by the SRA, which means you can’t rely on them to produce valid Wills. And if a Will isn’t valid, it isn’t a Will.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Will?
A Will is a document that sets out what you want to happen to your money, property and things when you die.
What’s a Lasting Power of Attorney?
If you ever lose your capacity to make decisions, you’ll need someone you trust to do it for you. Make it easier for that person by choosing them now, with a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA).
What’s a Living Will? (And what’s an advance statement?)
An Advance Statement sets out your likes and dislikes, and anything you want to make you more comfortable. So that might be things like whether you’d like to be cared for at home or in a hospice, who you want to be consulted about your care, right down to the food you do (or don’t) want to eat. Advance statements aren’t legal documents, so your family or carers don’t have to follow them – but they’re useful guidance for people to know how you’d like to be treated if you can’t tell them yourself.

When should I make a Will?
And don’t forget about it once you’ve done it – you should review your will every three to five years to make sure everything’s still right.
Where should I keep my Will?
However if you create a Will with LegalZoom we will store your Will free of charge for as long as you wish. We will also register the storage of your Will with Certainty, the National Wills Register, so that should your Executors not know where your Original Will is, they can find it through Certainty.
You can also store it with the Probate Service for a flat fee of £20.
