How can we help?
Straightforward Will writing and estate planning from our Oxford office, by a professional Will writer and full member of the Society of Will Writers. Here’s where to start.
Wills
Straightforward, fixed-fee Will writing, whether you’d like us to visit you at home, meet you online, or help urgently.
Lasting Powers of Attorney
An LPA lets someone you trust make decisions for you if you ever can’t. We prepare and register it for you.
Estate Planning
The wider picture — how your Will, your LPAs and your property fit together, and what to think about beyond the Will itself.
Every Will can be written at your kitchen table, over video, or urgently if time is short — see Home Visit Wills, Online Wills or Emergency Wills.
Already have a Will? We’ll store it safely and keep it up to date for you.
And you’ll always know the cost before we start. Our Wills pricing and LPA pricing are published in full.

We would like to personally thank Edward in helping us create our will. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional in providing us with all the information we needed to make the decisions, some of which we had not thought of. We would highly recommend A.D.E Wills to friends/family.Posted on Google mik ashfieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Edward at A.D.E wills enough for the professional and personal service I received from him. I had previously tried two different will writing services to no avail. Once the initial meeting was over with their representatives, there was absolutely no follow up at all. Edward on the other hand was not only knowledgeable and thorough, but also extremely patient with me and my situation, replying swiftly to any questions and concerns I had. It was a huge relief to finally receive my will and store it away safely knowing that every conceivable legal issue was covered. I am completely happy with the service I received from Edward and would totally recommend A.D.E wills to anyone.Posted on Google Marie HennessyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I have been impressed by the care and individual attention given to the process of writing my will and involving my family. ADE Wills was able to draw on a range of specilist expertise in complex matters which I highly appreciated. Edward Richings was always calm and patient, no detail was too small for him to respond. Very good value given the time spent and expertise available.Posted on Google Stu Campbell-CarranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Edward is a true gentleman and consummate professional. He handled my late Mum’s powers of attorney and Will, with compassion and grace, when she was suddenly taken gravely ill. He helped make what was a very difficult period much more manageable - and removed the sudden anxieties around Mum dying without having her estate in order. I highly recommend him and will be working with him on our own provisions soon. Brilliant service. Flawless.
How it works
Three steps, and we do the work in between.
Book your appointment
Call us, or ask for a call back. Choose a home visit, our Oxford office, or an online appointment by video — whichever suits you.
Talk it through
We’ll go through your family, your estate and your wishes, and explain anything that isn’t clear. We send a checklist beforehand, but nothing has to be filled in.
Approve and sign
We draft your Will and change it as many times as you need until you’re happy. Then it’s printed and posted to you with a step-by-step Signing Guide.
Your Will is written by an accredited member of the Society of Will Writers, working to their Code of Practice and holding full professional indemnity insurance. We’re professional Will writers rather than solicitors — the same legally sound documents, usually at a lower fixed fee.
Your Will is part of a bigger picture
A Will decides what happens after you die. It doesn’t help while you’re alive — so most of our clients also set up a Lasting Power of Attorney, which lets someone you trust act for you if illness or injury ever stops you acting for yourself. And a Will only works if it can be found and still says what you meant, which is where safe storage and regular reviews come in.
We can cover any of this in the same appointment, so there’s no need to book again.
What our clients say
In their own words — from clients we’ve helped online and in person.
Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and approachable. Timely completion of documents, flexible to meet around our availability and helpful in signposting us to other agencies we may find useful. Highly recommend.
Mrs K
Everything was extremely smooth and Edward is very adept at explaining all of the legalities and technical points in an extremely simple and easy to understand language.
Mr T
Edward from the Will writing service from A.D.E Wills supported us very well on the details of our rather complex wills. Certainly as good, and much quicker, as the expensive bigger law firm we were working with before and much better than the online will making services that we explored. Highly recommended!
Mr R
Fantastic service from Edward start to finish in providing new set of wills for my wife and myself. Chose a home visit and it was an absolute pleasure with Edward explaining and listening to our needs. Very professional , thorough and takes great care in advising his clients. I would recommend his services, no hesitation.
Mr and Mrs P
A.D.E Wills helped me write my first will. I had loads of questions throughout the process as I've never done this before, but Edward was very good at explaining everything to me at every step. The price was good too and I never felt rushed either, and the customer services was unparalleled.
Miss B
The Will writing service from A.D.E. Wills was excellent. Edward was helpful, thorough, clear and kind. His language, and the language in the Will are easy to understand and not burdened with legal jargon - but still legally very sound. Highly recommend!
Mrs B
I can't recommend Edward highly enough. He handled our complex and evolving situation with skill and understanding. He met all of our unreasonable timescales resulting from our circumstances, with ease and good humour. We now have the peace of mind that everything is in order.
Mrs D
If you are looking for legal advice, you should definitely consider A.D.E Wills. I am truly grateful with the service I received. I've never seen such a high quality customer service.
Mr G
Edward was excellent when dealing with my elderly, poorly grandparents. He was very efficient when helping them to write their will at such short notice. My Grandfather who is very deaf can be somewhat hard to deal with at times, Edward handled him just perfectly.
Miss G
Edwards diligence is absolutely second to none. What a lovely young man offering the most genuine and professional service, with his clients needs and empathetic consideration first and foremost.
