BCustomer input — what we ask the user

B.1The conversation shape

The longest guided interview in the suite — ~35–50 minutes for a mirror bundle, often split across multiple sittings. Plain English throughout, save-and-resume essential. The tone is collaborative: "we're not in a rush; this is your one chance to get the whole picture sorted."

The flow is explicitly modular. Three entry routes: direct purchase, upgrade from a recent Will, or via the Will Checker. Mirror bundles run two parallel interviews with shared inputs (joint assets, family situation, executors) and individual sections (specific gifts, LPA attorneys, instructions, restrictions).

B.2The fields we collect

This product re-uses the input schemas of Products 3 (Will), 5 (Will Checker), and 9 (LPA). New fields are bundle-specific — Roadmap inputs and cross-document coordination.

Section A — The whole picture (new to bundle)

Sections B–C — Will + LPA inputs

Section D — Roadmap inputs (new to bundle)

Section E — Tax & complexity flags

Section F — Coordination

B.3Evidence & verification

B.4Branching & edge cases

  1. Couple, both first marriage, adult children, simple estate — cleanest path; ~25%.
  2. Couple, blended family — ~25%. Stepchildren explicit; trust provisions for surviving spouse may be needed.
  3. Couple, business owner + non-business spouse — ~15%. Business succession is central.
  4. Single user, post-divorce, adult children — ~15%. Simpler; LPAs typically name adult children.
  5. Single user, widowed, adult children — ~10%. Higher estate value often; IHT more likely.
  6. Couple, high-net-worth (> £1m) — ~5%. Senior-practitioner review (+£100). May need IHT referral.
  7. Couple, both with complex priors — ~5%. Always complexity flag.

B.5Drop-off risks

CProduct output — what the customer receives

C.1The deliverable

A portfolio of documents, not a single artefact. For a mirror bundle: 2 Wills, 4 LPAs, 2 Letters of Wishes, an Estate Planning Roadmap, Signing Instructions, a Portfolio Cover Sheet, and an Executor / Attorney Guidance Letter — 12 deliverables. For single bundles, halve it.

The Roadmap is the unique-to-this-product document — the strategic overview knitting the others together. Other components are individually shipped by Products 3, 9; the Roadmap exists only here.

See the Specimen Output at the bottom for a fully-rendered 4-page A4 example: the Caldwells (Henry & Margaret, mid-50s, blended family from second marriages, ~£780k joint estate) — Portfolio Cover Sheet, Estate Planning Roadmap (pages 1–2), and the Action Timeline.

D.3Upsell hooks

ECompliance guardrails

E.1Why this is 🟢

Every component is individually 🟢 LSA-clear and FCA-CMC-clear. Wills aren't reserved instruments (testator signs in own name). LPAs are registered with the OPG (statutory body); we provide forms, user signs and submits, OPG decides registration. Letter of Wishes is non-binding. Roadmap is educational guidance (same shape as Will Checker).

The bundle inherits the most cautious of these. The Roadmap, in particular, must stay on the educational side — IHT considerations in general terms, never personalised tax advice.

E.2User-as-actor framing

E.3What the AI explicitly does NOT do

E.4Required disclosures

On the Portfolio Cover Sheet:
Generated by LegalHelp from your inputs and reviewed by [Reviewer name]. This portfolio includes documents that require specific steps to take legal effect: each Will must be signed with two witnesses under s.9 Wills Act 1837; each LPA must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian (£82 fee per LPA). LegalHelp is not a law firm. For complex estate planning (IHT over £325k, business succession, international assets), consult a qualified solicitor or tax adviser.
On the Roadmap, Section 4 (Tax):
Tax considerations in this Roadmap are educational. For personalised inheritance-tax planning, you must consult a qualified tax adviser. We do not provide tax advice.

F.6Off-page / amplification

Rob fit. Strong but mature in voice. The bundle is for the user beyond "I need a will" — thinking about the full picture.

Editorial line (draft): "Most people put off the whole conversation because it feels overwhelming. It isn't. One afternoon. £399. Both of you. Everything in one place." — Rob Rinder, co-founder.

Charity partner fit. Excellent. Captures both the Will (legacy gift) and LPA (care-relevant). Stronger co-branding opportunity than Wills alone.

MSE / Which? fit. Strong. £399 bundle vs Co-op's £1,400+ equivalent is a natural piece. Which? Wills + LPA white-label plausible.

PR angle. Headline: "The £1,000 estate planning gap — most UK couples pay 3x more than they need to for the same outcome." Plus the blended-families and cohabitee narratives.

Affiliate / partner channels.

GBuild dependencies & open questions

G.1What we need before launch

G.2Open questions

  1. Pricing. £249/£399 are working numbers. Right discount level? Needs price-sensitivity testing.
  2. Single bundle or just mirror? Single is operationally simpler; mirror is higher-value. Phase 1 with both, or mirror only?
  3. Roadmap distribution. Standalone product (£49) for users with wills from elsewhere? Phase 2.
  4. OPG registration support. Paid add-on ("we'll register your LPAs for £30") via regulated partner? Phase 2.
  5. Bundle for adult children. "Family bundle" at deeper discount?
  6. Senior-practitioner uplift threshold. £100 — right number?
  7. Membership inclusion. 3 months free trial — or full year free? Permanent inclusion at higher bundle price?
  8. The Executor / Attorney notification email. How aggressively to encourage opt-in?

Ref LH-EPB-2026-05-21-4938 · 21 May 2026

Section IWhere you are now

This Roadmap has been prepared for Henry James Caldwell and Margaret Anne Caldwell of 47 Pembroke Park, Clifton, Bristol, on the basis of the information you supplied in your interview on 21 May 2026.

You are both in your mid-fifties. You met seven years ago and married five years ago — your second marriage in each case. Henry was previously divorced; Margaret was widowed. Between you, you have four adult children: Henry's two (Daniel Caldwell, 32, married, lives in Manchester; Sophie Caldwell, 30, lives in Bristol) and Margaret's two from her first marriage (Robert Ashworth, 28, lives in London; Emma Ashworth, 26, lives in Edinburgh). All four are independent adults; none is financially dependent on you.

You jointly own your home in Clifton. Henry runs a small consultancy as a sole director; Margaret is employed as a clinical psychologist. Combined, your estate is approximately £780,000.

The three priorities you told us about: first, that the surviving partner is fully provided for; second, that the four children are treated equally regardless of which of you was their biological parent; third, that if either of you lost mental capacity, your wishes about care and finances would be clear and binding.

Section IVTax considerations

Your joint estate sits at approximately £780,000. This is meaningfully above the standard inheritance-tax nil-rate band but, on the basis of how your Wills have been drafted, you should be able to use the transferable nil-rate band and the residence nil-rate band to cover your position. The general picture, in plain English:

IV.1The nil-rate band

Each person has a standard nil-rate band of £325,000 — the value of an estate you can pass on free of inheritance tax. Anything above this is taxed at 40% (with some exemptions). The standard nil-rate band is unchanged in this tax year.

IV.2The residence nil-rate band

If you leave your main residence to direct descendants (children, grandchildren), you get an additional £175,000 nil-rate band. Your Wills leave the family home to the surviving spouse, then to all four children equally — including Henry's son Daniel and Sophie (his biological children, who qualify), and Margaret's son Robert and Emma (her biological children — note that under the law, stepchildren do qualify for the residence nil-rate band when they inherit from a step-parent's estate).

IV.3The transferable nil-rate band — married couples

Because you are married, the survivor of you can inherit the deceased's unused nil-rate band. This means the survivor's estate could potentially shelter up to £1,000,000 (£325k + £325k + £175k + £175k) from inheritance tax — comfortably above the £780,000 current estate value, with headroom for asset growth.

Important: The above is general educational information based on the rules in place at the date of this Roadmap. It is not personalised tax advice. Tax rules change. The £780,000 estate figure is your stated estimate. For serious inheritance-tax planning — particularly if you are considering lifetime gifts, trust structures, or business-property relief on Henry's consultancy — you must consult a qualified tax adviser. LegalHelp does not provide tax advice. We can refer you to a chartered tax adviser if you'd like an introduction.

Section VWhat happens if you can't decide

Your Lasting Powers of Attorney are the documents that give your nominated attorneys legal authority to make decisions for you if you become unable to make them yourself. You each have two: a Property & Financial Affairs LPA and a Health & Welfare LPA.

V.1Property & Financial Affairs LPA

This LPA covers everything to do with money and assets — paying bills, managing the bank account, dealing with pensions, buying or selling property. You have each named the other as primary attorney, with Sophie and Emma as joint substitute attorneys (they would have to act jointly, which gives a check-and-balance against either making a unilateral decision). The LPA can be activated immediately when registered (i.e. you can ask your attorney to act for you even when you have capacity) — you have both selected this option. Once registered with the OPG, the attorney can use it whenever the bank or other counterparty requires it.

V.2Health & Welfare LPA

This LPA covers decisions about your care, medical treatment, and living arrangements. It can only be used when you have lost capacity to make the relevant decision yourself. You have each named the other as primary attorney; Sophie and Emma as joint substitute attorneys; and you have both given your attorneys authority to make decisions about life-sustaining treatment (the higher level of authority — without this, the attorney can only make day-to-day care decisions).

Section VIWhat happens after you're gone

When the first of you dies, the surviving spouse will inherit everything (subject to the specific gifts) under your Wills. When the second of you dies, the executors — currently Daniel and Robert as the two named brothers from opposite sides of the family, plus James Pickering as professional substitute — will need to obtain a grant of probate from the Probate Registry. This typically takes 3–6 months from death. Once obtained, they distribute the estate as your Wills direct. LegalHelp can refer your executors to an SRA-regulated probate partner at that point if they prefer professional handling; that is an option for them, not an obligation.

Your action timeline

What to do, in what order. Most couples complete steps 1–4 in a single weekend; steps 5–7 happen over the following few weeks. Step 8 is a 5-year nudge — we'll remind you.

This week
1. Read your Wills and Roadmap end-to-end
Read each Will in full. Read this Roadmap. If anything doesn't read right, log back into your LegalHelp account and re-take the relevant section — we'll re-draft and re-review free, up to two revisions per document.
This week
2. Tell Daniel, Robert, Sophie and Emma
The Executor / Attorney Guidance Letter (in your portfolio) is designed to be given to them — it explains what they've been appointed to do, in plain English. You can edit it, print it, sign it, and hand it over in person — or use the opt-in email feature to send it from LegalHelp on your behalf.
This weekend
3. Sign both Wills with two witnesses
Print both Wills. Find two adult witnesses (not beneficiaries — so none of your four children, and not their spouses) who can be present at the same time. Sign in front of them; they sign in front of you. The Signing Instructions sheet walks you through every step. If you can't easily find witnesses, our facilitated witnessing partner can send two trained witnesses to you for £75–£99.
Within 30 days
4. Sign all four LPAs and submit to the OPG
Each LPA must be signed by you (the donor), each attorney, and a certificate provider (a professional or someone who has known you well for at least 2 years — your GP, a long-term friend). Once signed, send the LPA + the £82 OPG registration fee to the Office of the Public Guardian. Registration takes about 8–10 weeks. Until registered, the LPA cannot be used. All four LPAs at £82 each = £328 total OPG fees (paid directly to OPG, not LegalHelp).
Within 60 days
5. Store the originals safely
The signed original Wills and the registered LPAs are the legally valid documents — copies and PDFs are not sufficient for probate. We recommend the Kwil 25-year vault at £30 per document (£180 for the six core documents). Alternatively: your bank's safe-deposit box, a fireproof home safe, or your solicitor's storage. Tell your executors and attorneys where everything is.
Within 90 days
6. Consider a chartered tax adviser conversation
Your joint estate at £780k is comfortably within the £1m headroom from your combined nil-rate bands, but Henry's consultancy may have business-property relief implications worth exploring. A one-hour conversation with a chartered tax adviser is ~£250–400 and could surface opportunities. We can introduce you; alternatively the Chartered Institute of Taxation has a public directory.
Annually
7. Quick annual review
A 15-minute check-in we send you each May. Nothing changed? Confirm and move on. Something changed (an inheritance, a grandchild, a business sale, a divorce, a death in the family)? Re-take the relevant section of the Roadmap and we'll re-issue the updated document set free for the first year.
May 2031
8. Full 5-year refresh
A fresh Will Readiness Check + Roadmap regeneration. Free for portfolio holders. We'll remind you. Your Wills don't expire, but life changes, tax thresholds change, and the people you named change too.
Generated by LegalHelp. Self-help legal tool. Not legal advice. The Wills require witnessing under s.9 Wills Act 1837; the LPAs require OPG registration before they can be used. Action timeline · Page 1 of 1
