Are Diy Wills Safe?
I am looking to produce a will, which I consider a simple one, are DIY wills safe or should I use a solicitor at approx £400?
Thanks.

Just make sure it is dated and you sign it in front of two witnesses who are not beneficiaries (nor their spouse).
There are plenty of templates you can use guides.
if you use a solicitor (they usually retain the original will & give you a copy) it means they have a "foot in the door"
davebro is wrong - this is NOT a reason to by pass a solicitor - just DON'T appoint them as executor ( as the others cant unappoint him AND he can charge when you die - normal non legal executors cant (charge))

I didn't SAY it was a reason to bypass a solicitor just that your executors will necessarily be in contact with that solicitor and may feel obliged / pressured to use their services in the execution of the will when they might not otherwise have done so.
I AM NOT WRONG!
