Our Accredited Will writing in the unregulated Will writing sector

Wills in general.

Arguably, a Will is regarded as the most important legal document you may sign in your lifetime. Therefore, it is essential this document is prepared correctly and as per your instructions.

Will writing as an unregulated activity

Despite the importance of this legal document, the will writing sector is one which is unregulated. In general terms, there are no restrictions within the UK on who can draft, prepare and execute a will in the UK.  This causes considerable problems for clients who have had their will written by an unqualified and inexperienced will writer not just physically but financially and emotionally also.

 Without regulation, clients are left vulnerable and victimised by inexperienced and unqualified will writers who strive for financial settlement at the bereaved client’s expense. These avaricious will writers only see the pound signs in providing their advice with no apparent demonstration of the client’s emotional and future needs at often a challenging time.

 How to protect my affairs and loved ones?

When making a will, always seek to use an accredited will writer who can assist and ensure your will demonstrates your intended provisions. Instructing an accredited will writer provides the specialised expertise to draft such an important and often complex document. Cases involving second marriages, stepchildren, complicated tax effects and numerous assets can become complicated and so it is important to ensure that your will demonstrates and provides for those intended.
