Sarah, a 32-year-old financial analyst in Canary Wharf, had been putting off making a will for two years. With a £480,000 flat in Poplar and a partner she's not married to, she knew it was essential, but local solicitors quoted £600-£950.
When a colleague died suddenly at 35, Sarah realized she couldn't put it off any longer. Her partner would inherit nothing under UK intestacy rules—the flat would go to her parents instead.
Meanwhile, 310,300 people in Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.
Will Writing in Tower Hamlets
Whether you're a young professional in Canary Wharf, a family in Bow, or a property owner in Bethnal Green, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.
In Tower Hamlets, average property prices are £491,000. 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 310,300 residents of Tower Hamlets—many of whom are young professionals or first-time property owners—making a will isn't just for older people. It's about protecting what you've built and the people you love.
Tower Hamlets is London's youngest borough with a median age of just 30.5 years. Unlike traditional retiree will-makers, residents here accumulate significant assets early—first-time buyers pay an average of £470,000 for their properties. But many haven't considered estate planning yet.
UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. If you're not married to your partner, they get nothing—regardless of how long you've been together or whether you have children. Your property goes to your parents, siblings, or even distant cousins you barely know.
If you have children under 18 and die without naming guardians, the courts decide who raises them. That's not a decision you want to leave to the government.
The solution is simple: make a will. In Tower Hamlets, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.
