Margaret, a 68-year-old retired hotel manager in Blackpool, had been putting off making a will for three years. With a modest semi-detached house in South Shore worth £170,000, she knew it was essential to ensure her two children inherit equally. When she contacted local solicitors, quotes ranged from £234 to £400.
Margaret owns a modest semi-detached house in South Shore worth £170,000 and wants to ensure her two children inherit equally. Like many Blackpool retirees, she's on a fixed pension and can't justify spending £300+ on a solicitor when WUHLD offers the same legal protection for £99.99.
Meanwhile, 139,300 people in Blackpool face similar decisions. Over 20% are aged 65 or older, and many work in hospitality with irregular schedules that make solicitor appointments difficult. If you die without a will, the government decides who inherits—regardless of your family circumstances.
This guide explains how you can create a legally binding will in Blackpool for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.
Will Writing in Blackpool
Whether you're a retiree in South Shore, a hospitality worker in the town centre, or a young family in Layton, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.
In Blackpool, average property prices are £150,000—among England's most affordable, well below the UK average of £288,000. Even with modest property values, most residents have estates worth protecting when you add savings, pensions, and personal possessions. Without a will:
- Your unmarried partner inherits nothing (even if you've lived together for decades)
- The government decides who raises your children
- Your estate could go to distant relatives you've never met
- Your family faces months of legal complications
For the 139,300 residents of Blackpool—particularly the 20.8% aged 65 or older and the thousands working in tourism and hospitality—making a will protects what you've built and the people you love.
Blackpool is one of the UK's most famous seaside resorts, home to Blackpool Tower, Pleasure Beach, and the annual Illuminations that attract millions of visitors. The tourism and hospitality industry drives the local economy, employing thousands in hotels, entertainment venues, and service sectors—many with irregular shift patterns that make traditional solicitor appointments challenging.
UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. If you're not married to your partner, they inherit nothing. If you have children from a previous relationship, they might not receive what you intended. If you die without appointing guardians, the courts decide who raises your children.
The solution is simple: make a will. In Blackpool, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.
