Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Not So Grave.

These terms and conditions govern your use of this website, located at https://notsograve.co.uk (the "Site"). By using the Site you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the Site.

Not So Grave is owned and operated by Alveta Media Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Company Number 15017010), whose registered office is at 124 City Road, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 2NX ("we", "us", "our").

Information, not advice

Not So Grave provides general information and educational resources about death planning, estate planning and related financial topics in the United Kingdom. Nothing on this Site constitutes legal, financial, tax or other professional advice, and nothing on this Site should be relied upon as such.

We are not a firm of solicitors, a regulated will-writing service, or a firm authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. No solicitor-client, adviser-client or other professional relationship is created by your use of the Site or by your downloading or use of any document from it.

The information on the Site is general in nature and cannot take account of your individual circumstances. Laws, tax rules and thresholds change, and while we work hard to keep content accurate and current, we do not warrant that any information is correct, complete or up to date at the time you read it. Before acting on anything you read here, and particularly before making decisions affecting your estate, your family or your finances, you should consider taking advice from a solicitor, regulated financial adviser or other appropriately qualified professional.

Free templates and downloads

We provide free downloadable documents, including will templates and related guides (the "Templates"). The Templates are provided free of charge, as-is, for your personal use only. In relation to the Templates:

• You are responsible for deciding whether a Template is suitable for your circumstances. The Templates are designed for simple estates and are not suitable for everyone. Our guidance sets out when a DIY approach is appropriate and when you should take professional advice instead; please read it before using any Template.

• You are responsible for completing, signing and witnessing any document correctly. A will is only legally valid if it is executed in accordance with the applicable legal formalities. Our guides explain these requirements, but responsibility for meeting them rests with you.

• The will Templates are designed for estates governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in, or your assets are subject to the law of, Scotland, Northern Ireland or another jurisdiction, different rules apply and you should take advice.

• We do not review, check or approve completed documents, and we have no knowledge of how any Template is completed or used.

• If you are in any doubt, ask a solicitor or reputable will-writing service to prepare or review your will. Having a solicitor review a completed will is typically available for a modest fixed fee.
