Making Will-Writing Simple, Secure, and Stress-Free

Life is unpredictable, but one thing is certain: having a will gives you control over what happens next. Whether you want to ensure your home goes to a loved one, leave a gift to a charity close to your heart, or simply make things easier for those left behind, writing a will is one of the most important steps you can take.

But let's be honest - it's also something many people put off. We get it. It can feel overwhelming, expensive, or just something you don't need to think about yet.

That's exactly why Carr Mitchell was founded - to make writing a will simple, accessible, and hassle-free, no matter your age or circumstances.

How It All Started

Carr Mitchell was born from a simple but powerful realisation: too many people don’t have a will because the process feels too complicated. Throughout his career in professional services, our founder, Matthew Mitchell, had seen how often families struggled with unnecessary legal battles, or loved ones were left in difficult situations, or estates became tangled in red tape - all because a will hadn’t been put in place.

He knew there had to be a better way. A way that was affordable, stress-free, and accessible to everyone - whether you’re a first-time homeowner, remortgaging your property, planning for retirement, or simply getting your affairs in order. So, in 2009 he founded Carr Mitchell to make writing a will as easy as possible, without expensive solicitor fees or confusing legal jargon.

Since then our reputation as a trusted and reliable will-writing service has grown significantly. So much so that in 2023 we became Mortgage Advice Bureau’s preferred will-writing partner, helping their clients put this essential protection in place alongside one of life’s biggest financial decisions - buying or remortgaging a home.

Because securing your estate shouldn’t be complicated.
