Writing a will can seem daunting. It’s grown-up life admin, and of course it means you have to think about death… It’s not really anyone’s idea of a fun weekend activity.
But it’s important! It not only gives you peace of mind that things will be taken care of after you’re gone, it also makes things much simpler for those you leave behind.
There are websites out there with robots that spit out automated, template wills. We don’t offer that. There are even law firms that will write you a will for free. We are not one of those firms. Why not? Because writing a will is about so much more than just a fancy piece of paper. It’s about the process you go through with a good lawyer who asks the right questions and gives you practical legal advice.
When you write a will with Convex, we take the time to learn about you, your family, your finances and your future. This gives us the context to provide you with the appropriate guidance for protecting your assets, providing for your kids, and safeguarding your legacy.
Our wills are a quality no one can afford to do for free, and a service that no robot can match. Let us step you through our simple will writing process, to set you up for life, and for death.
A will in 4 easy steps
Step 1: You fill in our ‘initial information form' below. Do it now! It will take about 10 minutes and it's OK if you don't know all the answers.
Step 2: We'll get in touch to discuss your situation, your answers, and make some suggestions. This can be in person, over the phone or online – whatever suits you.
Step 3: We take the info from the form and our chat, and mould it into a new will, ready for your feedback. We can go back-and-forth editing it with you until the will is polished and finalised!
Step 4: Can we get your autograph? We meet for you to sign your new will, or we give you step-by-step instructions on how to sign and witness it properly (that’s really important!).
You’re Done!

We can also help with Enduring Powers of Attorney
These are for appointing someone to make decisions on your behalf while you're alive but have lost mental capacity. For example, if you sustain a head injury, or have a disease that makes you unable to make decisions for yourself, your Attorney can make them for you. See more information about EPOAs here.
Once you die, this decision-making power passes to your Executor under your will.
