Pricing
One price. One will. No subscription, ever.
Most wills don't need a solicitor — they need a careful set of questions and a careful set of templates. For the small share that genuinely do need a person, we have a solicitor tier too, and we'll route you there if your situation warrants it.

In context
How it compares — without being unkind to anyone.
We've tried to be honest about where Velati sits. We're more expensive than the cheapest DIY templates, and a fraction of the cost of a face-to-face solicitor for a typical case. If your situation is unusual, our solicitor tier is in the same range as a high-street firm — without the office overheads.
| DIY template | Velati self-service | High-street solicitor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | £20–£40 | £95 | £250–£500 |
| Plain-English summary alongside the will | No | Yes | Discussion only |
| Witness-overlap screening | No | Yes — automatic | Yes — by hand |
| Cohabitation-aware questions | Rarely | Throughout | If you ask |
| Routes complex cases out before you pay | No | Yes — to our solicitor tier | N/A |
| Signing pack for witnesses | Generic instructions | Step-by-step script | In-office signing |
| Solicitor-reviewed templates | Sometimes | Always | Author is the solicitor |
| Time | Open-ended | ≈ 15 minutes | 1–4 weeks |
A genuinely complex case — significant offshore assets, a contested estate, capacity questions — should always go to a solicitor. Velati routes those cases into our solicitor tier automatically before any payment is taken.
Our promise
If your will fails because of a Velati error, we'll refund you and pay your costs.
We test every clause we emit. We snapshot every will. We retest every time the templates change. If something we produced is found invalid in court, we will refund the fee and contribute towards your reasonable legal costs of putting it right.
