Why Bristol Residents Prefer Online Wills

Bristol is a city of contrasts: historic harbourside quays, leafy suburbs like Clifton, and busy streets running to the Avon Gorge. Between work, family and weekends out in Leigh Woods or Clevedon, finding time for a face-to-face visit to a solicitor can be tough. Yet delaying your will can leave loved ones facing probate costs often over £3,000 and months of legal back-and-forth.

Kinta makes it simple today. Our online form asks the same clear questions a Bristol solicitor would, but lets you answer on your phone or laptop whenever it suits you—whether you’re in Bedminster, Redland or up in Stoke Bishop.

Protect Bristol property values. Homes in Clifton and the surrounding suburbs have seen steady price rises. A well-drafted will uses tax-free allowances and gifts to keep more of your estate with the people you care about.

Speed up probate at the Bristol District Probate Registry. By setting out your wishes clearly, executors can apply for a grant faster, releasing funds sooner and reducing stress for everyone.

Valid across England & Wales. No matter if you’ve moved to Bath, Weston-super-Mare or stayed right in the city centre, your Kinta will remains fully compliant—log in anytime to update it at no extra cost.

No jargon, no hidden extras. Traditional will-writers often upsell storage or charge for each change. Kinta’s £20 fee covers unlimited edits and secure cloud vault storage for life. Your final PDF is ready to download as soon as you complete the form.

Expert support when you need it. Our UK-based team is on hand by phone, chat or email to guide you through questions about executors, guardians or gifts to charity.

What you’ll need: names of your chosen executors, any guardians for children, and an idea of how to divide your home, savings and personal items. Most customers finish in less than a lunch break.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing

Most people think writing a will is something you tackle "one day"—after the kitchen’s renovated, the loft is converted, or the kids are finally sleeping through the night. But here’s the hard truth: every month you wait, the price of sorting things out later creeps up. In England and Wales, the average probate bill now runs between £3,000 and £5,000 once court fees, solicitors, and paperwork are added up.1  That is money your family could be using for school fees, mortgage payments, or even just keeping the lights on.

Why the Bill Blows Up

1. Extra Legal Fees – Without clear instructions, solicitors spend hours piecing your estate together. Those billable hours add up fast.
2. Unclaimed Assets – Bank accounts, pensions, or premium bonds can get locked in limbo. Each letter, phone call, and legal chase costs more.
3. Family Disputes – Sadly, even the closest families can disagree. Mediation and court appearances don’t come cheap.
4. Probate Delays – The longer probate drags on, the more interest, penalties, and storage fees pile up on unpaid accounts and property.

The 15‑Minute Fix

Writing a will with Kinta takes less than 15 minutes, costs a fraction of a single solicitor’s hour, and gives crystal‑clear instructions that keep fees low and families calm. You answer a short set of plain‑English questions; we generate a legally binding, solicitor‑approved document—ready to print, sign, and store.

What You Save (Beyond the Money)

• Time – Probate can stretch 9 – 12 months without a will. With one in place, it often wraps up in as little as 6 weeks.
• Stress – No guessing games about who gets the house or looks after the dog. Your wishes are written in black and white.
• Relationships – Clear instructions mean fewer arguments, fewer hidden resentments, and far fewer awkward Christmas dinners.

Statistic You Should Know: According to the Office for National Statistics, 56 % of UK adults still don’t have a valid will.2  Of those estates that go to probate without one, nearly a quarter end up in a dispute that costs the family over £10,000 in combined fees and lost value.

The Simple Choice

A will isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a cost‑saving plan, a relationship preserver, and a sleep‑easier‑at‑night guarantee. Skip the probate price tag and give your loved ones the gift of clarity.
