Evidence suggests that more than 60% of the adult population in this country die without a will. Fortunately, that figure is decreasing, largely because the market has been opened up to allow will writers to compete with the traditional providers - solicitors and banks in offering a will service that's far more accessible to the general public. Not only has the increased competition resulted in a drastic reduction in the cost of making a will, it has also made the process so much more convenient. Many will writing firms, visit their clients at home, in the daytime or in the evening, so there's no longer the need for people to take time off work to visit solicitors or banks during office hours.

It's important to choose a will writer who is both competent and properly insured. There are two main professional bodies, The Society of Will Writers and The Institute of Professional Will Writers, which give an assurance of competence for their members and guarantee that Professional Indemnity Insurance is in place.

The best form of advertising is, of course, word of mouth. Most businesses depend on recommendations from ...
... satisfied customers and to make that possible, it is a must to provide a first-class service at reasonable cost. So when a consultant leaves the clients' house after a meeting that's taken about ninety minutes, he has not simply taken instructions for the drafting of a will; he has also provided a great deal of valuable information that the clients are unlikely to obtain anywhere else.

For instance, they will now fully understand the implications of inheritance tax, and how, if legally possible, it can be reduced; they will know what measures they can take, if any, to avoid loss of the family home to pay long-term care fees; they will understand Lasting Powers of Attorney and Advance Medical Decisions (commonly known as ‘Living Wills'), and they'll have an explanation of the process known as ‘probate' and the hugely important role played by the executors of their will. Finally, of course, they'll have peace of mind. They'll know that their wishes will be carried out, they have received the best possible advice and nothing has been left to chance. And what's more, when their circumstances change in years to come (as most people's circumstances do) they'll take comfort in the fact that will writing firms provide service that includes free amendments, so their wills can be kept up-to-date at no further cost.
