eWills by Hardmans are a little different to our "in-office" service. You will not see your Solicitor face to face but you will speak to them once on the telephone. Additional telephone meetings may result in additional charges.

The eWills procedure is:

1. You complete our on-line Wills questionnaire and submit it to us electronically.
2. You will receive an automated email confirming receipt of your questionnaire.
3. Within 2 working days the Solicitor will telephone you to carry out an Eligibility phone call to check we feel that we are able to provide you with our electronic Wills service. We reserve the right to decline to act if we have concerns surrounding your eligibility. We are not required to disclose these reasons unless we feel it appropriate. We will also check your identity documents by carrying out an electronic ID check with 192.com at a cost of £10 per person.
4. Subject to your eligibility being confirmed you must sign and return one copy of the Client Care Letter and Terms and Conditions of business which will be sent to your registered address by post. you must also make payment of the invoice at this time either online or by cheque.
5. Within 7 working days of receipt of payment, your Client Care Letter and Terms and Conditions of Business the Solicitor will email your Will and an explanatory letter of advice (based on your instructions) together with instructions on how to execute your Will. It is extremely important you follow the instructions on how to execute your Will correctly since failure to do so may result in your Will being invalid. Under eWills by Hardmans we accept no responsibility for incorrectly executed Wills and cannot be held liable for the same. We will, if you wish, store your Will free of charge in our strong room. If you return the original Will to us we will check it is correctly executed without further charge. You will be responsible for the safe delivery of your Will to our offices if you opt to use this additional servce. You should telephone us or email us to confirm you are sending your original Will. If you do this we will email you to confirm safe receipt.
