About Us

Over 25 years of legal experience, focused on you.

Wise Owl Wills was founded by Stephen Rhodes, who was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1999 and has more than 26 years of experience in the legal profession, including extensive drafting of legal documents and advising clients on wills and estate-related matters.

Wise Owl Wills is an independent Will-writing business and is not a barristers’ practice. This enables us to offer a modern and approachable alternative to traditional legal services, with documents explained in plain English rather than complicated legal jargon, helping you to make informed decisions with confidence while receiving a professional and friendly service.

Stephen believes that making a Will should be a straightforward and reassuring experience. His approach is built around taking the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances, so that every Will truly reflects their wishes.

What is a Will and why do I need one?

A Will is a written, legally binding document that ensures your property, possessions, and money — known as your estate — are passed on exactly as you wish after your death.

Leaving things to chance often has unfortunate consequences, especially for those with vulnerable financial dependents.

Creating a Will gives you peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones are protected and your wishes are clearly understood.

With our affordable will-writing service, it’s easier than ever to:

Choose trusted people to manage and distribute your estate.

Appoint guardians to care for your children if anything happens to you.

Decide who inherits your assets, whether family, friends, or a charity close to your heart.

Help to reduce inheritance tax and care home fees with careful, professional planning.

Our cost-effective will-writing options make it simple and stress-free to create an affordable Will that is still professionally written and legally sound. We help you protect what matters most.

What Do I Need to Make a Will?

Deciding on the provisions to make can be a confusing process, but with our professional service, it can be easier than you think. Creating a legal Will online can be a straightforward process, especially with our trusted and affordable Will writing service to guide you. Here’s what you need to do:

With our affordable Will writing options, you can create a legal Will online quickly and confidently — without expensive solicitor fees. It’s the smart, cost-effective way to make a Will that gives you total peace of mind.

How Do I Choose Who Should Inherit My Estate?

Modern family life looks very different today — and that’s precisely why creating a Last Will and Testament is so important. Whether you’re married, in a civil partnership, cohabiting, or have a blended family with children from previous relationships, the laws of intestacy (what happens if you die without a Will) often fail to reflect your true wishes.

By using a trusted Will writing service, you can ensure that your loved ones are cared for exactly as you intend — giving you peace of mind and helping to avoid family disputes in the future.

Providing for Your Partner

If you’re in a relationship — married, in a civil partnership, or simply living together — it’s common to leave most of your estate to your partner, especially if they rely on you financially, you share a mortgage, or you are raising children together. Without a legal Will, your partner might not inherit enough to stay in the home or support your family.

Protecting Your Children

For parents, planning for their children’s future is an act of love. We make it easy to leave assets “in trust” for your children until they reach adulthood. With our affordable will-writing options, you can be confident that their future is secure.

Supporting Others — or Giving to Charity

If your loved ones are already financially independent, you can use your Last Will and Testament to benefit friends, extended family, or charitable causes close to your heart. A cost-effective will-writing service ensures that your assets go exactly where you want them to — and not to the wrong people.

Easy Options for Couples

If you and your partner both need Wills, our mirror wills for couples are a cheap and convenient way to protect one another and your shared assets. You can even make a Will online together in just a few simple steps.

Creating your Will doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Our affordable, online Will writing service helps you make a legally binding Will quickly, easily, and from the comfort of your home — so you can protect the people who matter most.

Can I protect against care home fees and inheritance tax?

Creating a Last Will and Testament isn’t just about deciding who inherits your estate. It is also a smart way to help protect your assets from some costs, such as care home fees and inheritance tax.

With our carefully structured Will and Trust writing service, you can plan to safeguard more of your hard-earned assets for your loved ones rather than being lost to care costs or tax liabilities. Creating a trust or adapting the joint ownership of property could help to pass more of your property and savings to your family.

By using an affordable Will and Trust writing service to plan early, you can take legitimate steps to help preserve part of your estate for your spouse, partner, or children. This may ensure that your family is protected financially, even if you or your partner requires residential care later in life.

A well-prepared Will can also help reduce inheritance tax. Strategic planning, such as leaving assets to your spouse, making charitable donations, or establishing trusts, can make your estate more tax-efficient. Our cost-effective will-writing options make it easy to include these provisions in your Will, helping you preserve your legacy and pass on the maximum possible value to your loved ones.
