Will Writing in Exeter

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a 38-year-old university lecturer at the University of Exeter, had been putting off making a will for nearly three years. Sarah and her husband recently bought their first family home in St Leonard's for £380,000, and with two young children to protect, they knew they needed a will. But between teaching, research deadlines, and school runs, finding time for solicitor appointments felt impossible—until they discovered WUHLD's 15-minute online will service.

When Sarah finally checked local solicitor prices, the quotes ranged from £264 to £600. For a straightforward will, this seemed excessive—especially when WUHLD offered the same legal protection for £99.99.

Meanwhile, 131,400 people in Exeter face similar decisions about their estates. If you die without a will, the government decides who inherits your property, savings, and even who raises your children. Your unmarried partner could receive nothing, regardless of how long you've been together.

This guide explains how you can create a legally binding will in Exeter for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.

Whether you're a young professional buying your first city centre flat, a university lecturer with a family home in St Leonard's, or an NHS worker planning for retirement, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.

In Exeter, average property prices are £340,000. 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 131,400 residents of Exeter—69.1% of whom are of working age—making a will isn't just for older people. It's about protecting what you've built and the people you love. As a historic cathedral city with a young, educated demographic (median age just 35.1), Exeter's professionals, university staff, and growing families need estate planning that fits their busy lives.

UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. If you're unmarried and die without a will, your partner gets nothing. If you have children but no spouse, distant relatives might inherit before them. If you own property worth £340,000 but die intestate, your loved ones could spend months fighting for what should rightfully be theirs.

The solution is simple: make a will. In Exeter, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.
