When to Choose Each
Choose Trust & Will if…
Trust & Will is the right choice for US residents. If you live in the United States and need a will, living trust, power of attorney, or healthcare directive, Trust & Will offers the best combination of price, speed, and quality. Starting at $69 for a standalone will and $199 for a complete estate plan.
Try Trust & Will →Choose LawBite if…
LawBite is the right choice for UK residents (England and Wales). If you live in the UK and need a solicitor-prepared will, lasting power of attorney, or business legal help, LawBite's fixed-fee solicitor services offer transparent pricing without the uncertainty of hourly billing.
Try LawBite →State-Specific Notes
This is fundamentally a geography question. Trust & Will operates across all 50 US states. LawBite operates in England and Wales (not Scotland or Northern Ireland, which have separate legal systems). If you have cross-border US/UK estate planning needs, you'll likely need specialists in both jurisdictions.
Use Trust & Will if you're in the US. Use LawBite if you're in the UK. These services don't really compete — they serve different legal jurisdictions entirely.
Get Started with Trust & Will →Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Trust & Will if I live in the UK?
No — Trust & Will is a US-only service. Their documents are designed for US state law and are not valid under UK law. UK residents should use a UK-qualified solicitor or service like LawBite, Farewill, or Lawhive for estate planning.
Is LawBite available in the US?
No — LawBite is a UK legal services provider regulated for England and Wales. US residents cannot use LawBite for US estate planning documents.
What is the UK equivalent of Trust & Will?
The closest UK equivalents to Trust & Will are Farewill (online will writing from £90), Co-op Legal Services, and Lawhive. For more solicitor-led services with broader legal coverage, LawBite is a strong option.
Do I need a trust in the UK like in the US?
The US and UK have different estate planning systems. In the US, living trusts are commonly used to avoid probate. In England and Wales, probate is a standard process and trusts are less commonly used for basic estate planning. A well-drafted UK will typically suffices for most people; complex estates may benefit from trust structures for tax planning.
Can I create a will online in the UK?
Yes — online will writing is legal and increasingly popular in the UK. Services like Farewill, Lawhive, and LawBite offer regulated will-writing services. UK wills must be signed in the presence of two independent witnesses who also sign. A will made through a regulated UK service is fully legally valid.
