Make sure your Will is prepared by a Professional

 26^th August 2010

Will writing is one of the most unregulated systems of the legal process and almost anyone is allowed to set up a Will writing company, literally after a few hours training. According to a recent survey, however, two out of three people think that all Will writers are Solicitors, which can all too easily lead to significant problems when the time comes to actually apply the terms of the Will during Probate.

Stories now abound of unregulated Will writing companies offering low introductory prices for preparing a Will but the actual price of the Will is usually far from the price they are quoting due to add-ons and other extras. In addition,  unregulated Will writing companies may not have  indemnity insurance that will protect the client if a mistake is made and the Will writing company may simply go out of business and take the original Will may disappear with the company.

In contract, Solicitors are fully trained and experienced in this area of work and also fully regulated. In the event of a mistake, every Solicitor will be fully insured and in the unlikely event that a solicitor acts fraudulently, the client is protected by the Solicitors Compensation fund which is administered by the SRA.

A Will is in part the largest cheque the majority of people will ever write and the advice of a qualified experienced Solicitor is in our view essential to assist you in the process.
