The legal team

Qualified solicitors. Real oversight.

Every Willful review is conducted by a UK solicitor regulated by the SRA. Not a paralegal. Not an algorithm working alone. A qualified professional who puts their name to your will.

A named solicitor on every review. Verify any SRA number at sra.org.uk.

Our standards

How we work

SRA-regulated

All Willful solicitors are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. You can verify any SRA number at sra.org.uk.

Private client specialists

We only work with solicitors who have specific experience in wills, probate, and estate planning, not generalists.

48-hour SLA

Every review is completed within 48 business hours. Our internal systems monitor SLA compliance in real time.

Human review, always

AI assists with document preparation, but every will is read and approved by a qualified solicitor. No fully automated reviews.

Meet your solicitor

You’ll know exactly who reviewed your will

The Willful panel is led by Nicholas Rattray, a solicitor admitted in 1992 with more than thirty years in practice. When your will enters review, it is assigned to one solicitor, and from that moment, their name and SRA registration number appear on your review inside your account.

Every panel solicitor holds a current practising certificate and can be looked up on the SRA’s public register at sra.org.uk, so the accountability is real, not a marketing page.
