Genuinely free — and the funding is transparent.
Bequeathed is genuinely free, and the funding model is transparent: charities pay, hoping you'll consider a gift. The service describes itself as legal-advice-led — a will interview, a produced will, and an option to pay for further legal support where your situation needs it. There is no hidden catch to expose, and this page doesn't manufacture one.
Free, and still limited — the same way every free scheme is.
The limits are the same as every free scheme's, and one more. Complexity bumps you to paid work, and the document itself is only ever half the job — whichever way you got it written.
The word simple. Complexity — trusts, blended families, business or foreign assets — bumps you, properly, to paid work.
The after-layer. Like every will product on this page, free or paid, the document is produced and the estate around it remains yours to organise.
What each will is — and what neither one covers.
A will and the records around it are two different jobs. Valoren's will is £149 one-off, with 12 months of Will Watch included. Bequeathed's is free, funded by charities and produced through their own solicitor-led process. Whichever writes the document, the estate around it is still yours to organise.
Free, charity-funded, drafted through their own solicitor-led process.
One-off — includes 12 months of Will Watch.
Complexity routing — both bump you to paid professional advice before anything is signed, once the estate stops being simple
Scheme timing — Bequeathed's free offer runs through participating charity windows; Valoren's £149 has no scheme window at all
The annual Will Watch check, plus a complexity check that catches you before signing — not because the free will is deficient, but because timing and upkeep are a different job.
This guide is free, and it stays free. The Household Continuity Dossier renders your household's own version — your people, your accounts, your wishes — into a maintained record your executor or trusted person will actually reach for, kept current every year.
