I don't do any legal aid nowadays, but certainly up to a few years ago you could do a will under the legal help scheme (part of legal aid) if you were going to appoint a guardian for any children.

I suggest you find a local family lawyer through www.resolution.org.uk, check they do legal aid.

Most probate (wills) solicitors don't do legal aid, but a family lawyer will be familiar with the procedure, so ask for a family lawyer in the first instance and if they want the work, they'll get you to sign the legal aid paperwork then pass you on to a probate person.

There's a very tight limit of about £55, so it'll have to be a v. straightforward will.
