Last Updated: January 2025

1. This Service Does Not Provide Legal Advice

Craft My Will Ltd ("Craft My Will", "we", "us", or "our") provides an online document preparation service that enables users to create their own Last Will and Testament. We provide technology and tools to help you draft legal documents based on the information you provide.

Craft My Will is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.Our service is a self-help document preparation tool. The information and guidance we provide is general in nature and should not be considered or relied upon as legal advice specific to your individual circumstances.

Our staff members are not solicitors and are not qualified to provide legal opinions on matters relating to your will or estate. Any assistance we provide is limited to helping you use our document preparation platform.

2. No Solicitor-Client Relationship

Your use of Craft My Will does not create a solicitor-client relationship between you and Craft My Will or any of its employees, contractors, or affiliates. No confidential or privileged relationship is formed through your use of this service.

3. Suitable for Straightforward Estates

Craft My Will is specifically designed for individuals with relatively straightforward estates and uncomplicated wishes. Our service works well if you:

• Have a clear idea of who should inherit your assets
• Own property and savings primarily in England and Wales
• Have a straightforward family situation
• Do not require complex trust arrangements

Our service may not be suitable if you:

• Own business assets or shares in private companies
• Have assets in multiple countries
• Wish to create complex trusts
• Have concerns about potential claims against your estate
• Own agricultural property or heritage assets
• Have beneficiaries with special needs requiring trust arrangements
• Have complex family arrangements or wish to disinherit close relatives

If any of these apply to you, we recommend seeking advice from a qualified solicitor who specialises in wills and probate before using our service.

4. Your Responsibility for Accuracy

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information you provide when creating your will. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Your personal details (full legal name, address, date of birth)
• Names and details of executors, beneficiaries, and guardians
• Descriptions of assets and how they should be distributed
• Any specific wishes regarding your estate

We cannot verify the information you provide, and errors or omissions may result in your will not reflecting your true intentions or potentially being invalid. Please review all information carefully before finalising your will.

You are also responsible for:

• Determining whether our service is appropriate for your circumstances
• Properly signing and witnessing your will according to the instructions provided
• Storing your will safely and informing relevant parties of its location
• Updating your will when your circumstances change

5. Jurisdiction

Craft My Will wills are designed specifically for residents of England and Wales and are intended to be valid under the laws of England and Wales, including the Wills Act 1837 (as amended).

If you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or outside the United Kingdom, our service may not be suitable for you. Different jurisdictions have different legal requirements for valid wills. We strongly recommend consulting a local legal professional if you are not resident in England or Wales.

6. When to Seek Legal Advice

While Craft My Will makes will-writing accessible and affordable, there are situations where professional legal advice is important. We strongly recommend consulting a qualified solicitor if:

• You are unsure whether our service is suitable for your needs
• You have a complex estate or family situation
• You wish to disinherit family members who might have a claim on your estate
• You have concerns about the validity of your will
• You need advice on inheritance tax planning
• You want to set up trusts for beneficiaries
• You own property or assets outside England and Wales

There is no substitute for professional legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances. When in doubt, please seek guidance from a qualified solicitor.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Craft My Will shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in connection with your use of our service, including but not limited to:

• Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in your will resulting from incorrect information provided by you
• The invalidity of your will due to improper signing or witnessing
• Any disputes or legal proceedings arising from your will
• Any loss of inheritance or estate assets
• Any tax implications resulting from the distribution of your estate

8. No Guarantee of Validity

While we make every effort to ensure our service helps you create a valid will, we cannot guarantee that your will:

• Will be valid under all circumstances
• Will not be challenged by third parties
• Will achieve your intended estate planning goals
• Will be interpreted by courts as you intended

The validity of your will depends on many factors, including proper execution (signing and witnessing) and your mental capacity at the time of signing.

9. Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this legal disclaimer from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this disclaimer was last revised. Your continued use of our service after any changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
