Writing a Will with Affio can cost nothing.
With other providers the costs involved, much like anything, depends on a number of factors – how you have your will written, who does it and how complex your circumstances are.
Typically having your will written by a solicitor starts at about £150 but people often use an unregulated will-writer and this is cheaper. A recent survey found that most people pay between £50 and £150:
| Amount paid for a will | Percentage of survey |
| £0-£50 | 14% |
| £51-£150 | 47% |
| £151-£300 | 29% |
| £301-£500 | 7% |
| £501-£1,000 | 3% |
| £1,000+ | 1% |

The Affio will was written by a specialist barrister, so you get the same legal language as a solicitor but if you don’t make any specific gifts it will be free. Which is nice, especially as you get to write it from the comfort of your own sofa.
