Why Cardiff Residents Are Choosing to Make a Will Online

From the waterfront cafés of Cardiff Bay to the leafy suburbs of Whitchurch and Llandaff, life here moves at its own pace. But finding time to visit a solicitor’s office can be a challenge—especially if you travel from Barry or Penarth. Many people ask, “Where can I make a will in Cardiff?” Without a clear will, your loved ones may face probate fees, delays and confusion when you’re gone.

Kinta brings will writing to you. Our online platform asks the same questions a local solicitor would—but you answer them at home, on your phone or laptop, whenever suits you. Whether you live near the Principality Stadium, in Roath or Pontcanna, you can make a will in Cardiff without leaving your sofa.

Protect Cardiff property values. Homes in Cyncoed, Penylan and the city centre have seen steady price rises. A clear will lets you use tax-free allowances and lifetime gifts so more stays with your family.

Speed up probate at the Cardiff and Vale Probate Registry. When instructions are crystal clear, your executor can secure the grant faster, releasing funds sooner and sparing your family extra stress.

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.
