Exactly as you would write them on an official document. This tool merges your answers into standard England & Wales will wording, it does not give advice.
The Will Builder merges your answers into standard will wording mechanically. It is a self-help tool, not legal advice, and WillSafe is not a firm of solicitors. For complex estates (trusts, business assets, overseas property, significant inheritance tax exposure) consider a qualified solicitor. Nothing you type here is stored on our servers.

How the will builder works
The builder asks the same questions a will-writing appointment would: who should act as your executors, who inherits your estate, any specific gifts of money or possessions, and who should be guardian to children under 18. Your answers are assembled into a draft will for England & Wales using the same clause structure as our paid kits, and you download it as an editable Word document. You can run it as many times as you like.
A draft is not yet a will
Under the Wills Act 1837 a will is only valid once it is printed and signed in the presence of two independent adult witnesses, who then sign in your presence. A witness (or their spouse) must not be a beneficiary, or their gift fails even though the will itself stands. Read the draft carefully, fine-tune the wording in Word if you need to, then hold a proper signing: you and both witnesses together, one document, every signature on the same occasion. Our witnessing guide walks through it step by step.
When a builder draft is not enough
The builder handles the estates most people actually have: a home, savings, possessions and straightforward gifts. If your situation involves trusts, business or agricultural assets, foreign property or a blended family where you want to protect children from a previous relationship, use the draft as a conversation starter with a solicitor rather than a finished document. For everyone else, the single will kit and mirror wills kit include the guidance notes, checklists and storage advice that turn the draft into a properly executed will, and the free estate planning checklist covers what to gather before you start.
