An honest, sourced look at the main UK apps for organising your estate — what each one does, who it suits, and how they compare. We make one of them (Beqst), and we’ve tried to be fair about where the others are stronger.

In detail
What each is genuinely good at — and who it suits best.
Best for: One place for the whole picture — will, documents, passwords, IHT and executor hand-over
Full disclosure: we make Beqst. It is a web-based estate organiser that combines a will builder, an encrypted document vault, a credential (password) safe, an inheritance-tax and gifting tracker, and an executor portal that shares only what you choose, when you choose. The aim is breadth in one place, kept current for life, with pricing published up front.
Visit Beqst →Best for: People who want a rich, app-first personal legacy — including video messages and a memorial page
An encrypted "life planner" with 30+ features across iPhone, Android and web: a digital vault and password vault, a personal will and living will, digital executors, finances and possessions, plus personal-legacy touches like recorded "afterword" video messages, a memorial page and a life timeline. Feature-rich and closest in spirit to Beqst. It has a free tier (the paid "Legacy" plan unlocks the will and richer features), and — unusually — offers a one-off lifetime option alongside the subscription.
Visit Inheritable →Best for: People who mainly want a smart, searchable document store with AI data extraction
A UK "smart digital filing cabinet": securely store documents, with AI extraction that pulls out details so you can search passports, policies and letters quickly. It adds messages for loved ones, a memories archive, and a Legacy Contact who gets access when the time comes. It focuses on organising and sharing documents rather than building a will or estimating inheritance tax.
Visit SafeKeep →Best for: People who want free, healthcare-informed end-of-life planning
A free "tech for good" platform developed with clinicians and legal experts. It covers a will, funeral wishes, an advance care plan, a digital legacy / social-media will, and scheduled "goodbye" messages. Strong on healthcare and end-of-life planning and completely free; less focused on a document vault, passwords or inheritance-tax tracking.
Visit MyWishes →Farewill is a will-writing and death-services brand — an online will from £100 (£160 for couples), with £10 a year to keep it updated, plus telephone wills, fixed-fee probate, and funeral and cremation plans. It is a strong choice if what you mainly want is a will written, rather than an ongoing place to keep your accounts, passwords and documents organised for your family. A will and an organiser do different jobs, and work well together.
Visit Farewill →The best estate-organisation apps do one core job: they put everything your family would need in one secure place, so no one has to play detective after you die. In practice that spans a few things — a record of your accounts, property, pensions and debts; your important documents; where your passwords and access live; your funeral and personal wishes; and a way to hand all of it to your executor at the right time. Some apps also build the will itself and estimate inheritance tax. Few do all of it, which is why the right choice depends on what you most need.
Start from the gap you feel most. If your documents are scattered and you want them searchable, a filing-cabinet app like SafeKeep fits well. If you want free, healthcare-informed end-of-life and funeral planning, MyWishes is hard to beat on price. If you want a rich, app-first personal legacy with video messages, Inheritable leans that way. And if you want breadth in one place — a will, documents, passwords, an inheritance-tax view and a clean executor hand-over, on the web with pricing shown up front — that is what we built Beqst to do. Many people also use more than one: a will service for the legal document, and an organiser to keep everything else current.
They focus on different things. A will-writing service such as Farewill focuses on creating and maintaining the legal will itself — and often adds related services like probate and funerals. An estate-organisation app focuses on the ongoing practical record around the will: it keeps your accounts, documents, passwords and wishes current and hands them to your family when the time comes. A will says who inherits; an organiser is the practical map your executor uses to find and value everything. Neither replaces the other, and the strongest setup usually has both. This is general information, not legal or financial advice.
Comparison compiled July 2026 from each provider’s public website. Beqst is a UK estate-organisation tool, not a law firm; this page is general information, not legal or financial advice. Related: document vault, password safe, and the free death-folder checklist.
