Emma, a 29-year-old digital designer in Brighton and Hove, had been putting off making a will for over a year. Living with her partner in Kemptown, she knew her partner wouldn't inherit anything if she died without a will—and local solicitors quoted her £650 for a basic will, money she'd rather spend elsewhere.
When a friend mentioned WUHLD's online service, Emma created her complete will in just 15 minutes. For £99.99, she had everything sorted—no appointments, no stress, and over £500 saved.
Meanwhile, 290,400 people in Brighton and Hove face the same decision. If you die without a will, the government decides who inherits—your property, savings, even who raises your children.
This guide explains how you can create a legally binding will in Brighton and Hove for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.
Will Writing in Brighton and Hove
Whether you're a young professional in Kemptown, a creative worker in the North Laine, or a family in Hove, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.
In Brighton and Hove, average property prices are £450,000. Add savings, pensions, and investments, and most residents have estates worth protecting. 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 290,400 residents of Brighton and Hove—many of whom are young professionals, creative workers, or part of the UK's largest LGBTQ+ community—making a will isn't just for older people. It's about protecting what you've built and the people you love.
Brighton and Hove is the UK's "queer capital" with the highest proportion of LGBTQ+ residents—11-15% identify as LGB+. For unmarried couples, the risk is stark: without a will, your partner has no automatic inheritance rights under UK intestacy law. Your assets would go to blood relatives instead.
With 24% of residents aged 19-31 (vs. 17% nationally), Brighton has one of the youngest populations in the UK. These young professionals, first-time homebuyers, and creative workers are exactly at the life stage where wills become essential: buying property, starting relationships, having children.
UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. If you're unmarried and die without a will, your partner gets nothing—even if you've lived together for 20 years and own property together. Your estate goes to your parents, siblings, or even distant cousins before your partner sees a penny.
The solution is simple: make a will. In Brighton and Hove, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.
