A leading local will-writer believes the recent introduction of
a new Code of Practice will make will-writing and estate planning a
better and easier to understand experience for the public.
Terry Le Long, who runs NLS Shropshire Ltd, is the Shropshire,
Staffordshire and Mid-Wales regional chairman of the Society of
Will Writers (SWW), the UK's leading professional body for the
will-writing industry. Earlier this month, the SWW launched a new
Code of Practice for its 2,000 plus members, which Terry says will
offer even greater assurance and peace of mind to customers when
making some of the most important decisions of their life.
Terry Le Long commented: "The new Code of Practice has been
painstakingly compiled after extensive consultation with members
and consumer bodies, including the Citizens Advice Bureau and Age
UK, to ensure it offers the public total peace of mind. It provides
reassurance that they are dealing with a reputable professional
backed by the UK's largest will-writing body.
"I would urge anyone considering getting a will produced or
amended to check that the person to whom they are entrusting they
and their family's future to is a member of the SWW and ask to see
a copy of the Code of Practice."
Members of the Society of Will Writers, who are fully-trained
and have professional indemnity insurance, are able to visit people
in the comfort of their own home to discuss their will and estate
planning needs.
