Is it legal to write your own will without a solicitor?

Yes, it is legal to write your own will without a solicitor in the UK. Many people choose to draft their wills using DIY templates or online services. However, writing a will yourself requires careful attention to legal requirements such as proper signing and witnessing. Mistakes can lead to a will being invalid or open to dispute. For complex estates, tax planning, or specific wishes, consulting a solicitor is often recommended to ensure your will is clear, valid, and fully protects your interests.
