The main reason for making a Discretionary Trust Will is to save on Inheritance Tax. By making a Will written under a discretionary Trust you hcan save up to £110,000 in Inheritance Tax with little or no downside.

One of the easiest ways to make a Discretionary Trust Will is Online.

You can now make a Discretionary Trust Will Online at various websites.

Having looked at most of the offerings available, the BEST BY FAR can be found at Tenminutewill.co.uk

TenminuteWill.co.uk is not the cheapest provider (its marginally more expensive than the really cheap ones) BUT it offers far more than the cheap providers can. There are numerous reasons why it is the best of the Online Will providers but the most important are:-

  • It is solicitor checked - vital to ensure you don’t make a mistake.
  • You can make FREE updates an changes in the future. Most of the cheaper providers will charge you to make these changes.
  • You can print it off immediatley - no waiting around.
  • Offers Power of Attorney if required.
  • Offers binding service if required.

Best Way to Make a Will (update)

Well I have been looking into all this for quite a few months now. It is becoming ever more apparent (in my opinion) that the Online route is easily the best way forward for the vast majority of people.

The main problem with this is two-fold

  1. Some people are a little daunted by doing things online. It is therefore important to ensure that the online provider is easy to use and that help is available throughout the process.

  2. Some of the online providers lack something.

I still believe that the Online Will-Writing service from www.tenminutewill.co.uk is quite easily the BEST of the many options now available.

Why? Simple they cover all the options at a very reasonable price (£29.95). If you find a cheaper online provider they are almost certain to be lacking in some area.
