Marcus, a 47-year-old managing director at a Westminster-based consulting firm, had been putting off making a will for years. With a £1.8 million flat in Pimlico and a successful career advising FTSE 100 companies, he knew it was essential—but local solicitors quoted £1,200 and required weeks of appointments he couldn't spare.
When a colleague's sudden death left his family in legal limbo over a £2 million Westminster property, Marcus realized he couldn't delay any longer. He needed a proper will, but one that fit his schedule and didn't require expensive solicitor meetings.
Meanwhile, 260,000 people in Westminster face similar decisions. With average property prices at £950,000—the highest in London—the stakes are enormous. 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 Westminster for £99.99 in just 15 minutes online—no solicitor appointment needed.
Will Writing in Westminster
Whether you're a senior professional in Belgravia, a business owner near Whitehall, or a property investor in Mayfair, a will ensures your estate goes to the people you choose.
In Westminster, average property prices are £950,000. 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 260,000 residents of Westminster—many of whom are high-net-worth professionals, business owners, and international residents with extremely valuable property assets—making a will isn't just for older people. It's about protecting what you've built and the people you love.
UK intestacy rules are strict and often unfair. Consider a couple living together in a £2 million Belgravia flat. They're unmarried but have been together for 15 years. If one partner dies without a will, the surviving partner inherits absolutely nothing. The entire property goes to the deceased's parents or siblings, potentially leaving the surviving partner homeless.
The solution is simple: make a will. In Westminster, you don't need an expensive solicitor or weeks of appointments. WUHLD lets you create a complete, legally binding will in 15 minutes online.

Why Choose WUHLD for Your Will
Price: £99.99 vs £1,000
In Westminster, solicitors charge between £900 and £1,500 for a will. We've researched local firms, and most don't even publish their pricing—requiring consultations before quoting fees. The average cost is around £1,000.
WUHLD costs £99.99. One-time payment. No hidden fees. No subscriptions.
What you get for £99.99:
- Your complete, legally binding will
- A 12-page Testator Guide explaining how to execute your will properly

Compare that to spending £1,000+ and taking time off work for multiple solicitor appointments in Mayfair or Belgravia.

For High-Net-Worth Westminster Residents
Whether you're a first-time buyer who's managed to purchase a £826,000 Westminster flat, a senior executive with a £2 million Belgravia property, or a business owner with multiple assets, WUHLD makes will-writing accessible and efficient.
You've worked hard for your home in Westminster (average price: £950,000). With property values this high, intestacy rules become devastating—unmarried partners could lose everything, children could face contested estates, and inheritance tax bills could reach hundreds of thousands.
WUHLD handles complex estates including high-value property, business interests, and investment portfolios. You don't need to pay £1,200 for straightforward asset distribution. For genuinely complex tax planning—international trusts, sophisticated inheritance tax structures—you can layer specialist advice on top of your WUHLD will if needed.
But most Westminster residents simply need a legally robust will that distributes their estate according to their wishes. That's exactly what WUHLD provides, without the £1,000 solicitor premium.

Do I need a solicitor to make a will in Westminster?
No, you don't need a solicitor to make a legally valid will in Westminster. Online services like WUHLD let you create a complete, legally binding will in just 15 minutes for £99.99—far less than the £900-£1,500 that local Westminster solicitors typically charge.
