Solicitors versus will writers

3/10/2010

0 Comments

 
This may be contentious! Solicitors are well known as people to use to make a will. They have legal training and are clever people to be a solicitor in the first place. However, they are not the only the choice, and are not always the best choice. A professional will writer will create wills for clients as their main business. So long as they have key things in place such as indemnity insurance, a code of conduct, professional training and are part of an organisation that is there to protect consumers, then there should be little concern about using this other professional.

Indeed, a colleague of mine has acted for clients when they have been let down by solicitors, so being a solicitor is no guarantee of getting it done perfectly. 

So whoever you choose, ask if will writing is their speciality, how they keep on top of changes of things like the law, and whether they have had a claim of negligence against them (if yes, how many!).

    About Oliver!

    Oliver has a mixed background in law and financial services, and he is focussed on providing will writing and other will services to our clients. The business expanded from a small regional business into a business with national coverage via video and with local consultants where possible.

    Oliver has a law degree, which included a specialist subject of wills and probate law, and passed the Legal Practice Course (LPC), which is the last step before training as a solicitor. We love the cost effective service we give though, and the high quality service we always aim to give.
