Solicitors taking part not only gain the satisfation of helping to raise funds for life-changing charity work, but also benefit from positive local publicity and introductions to valuable new clients.

    C’mon! Really? As Warren Buffett said “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” Sure, £25.99 is a bargain in a cost conscious climate but a solicitor adds value by: ✅Assessing your capacity ✅Assessing undue influence ✅Keeping detailed file notes to assist in later disputes ✅Advising on your tax exposure and mitigation ✅Assessing whether a trust is needed to protect vulnerable beneficiaries or provide for various individuals in a blended family situation ✅Advising on cross-jurisdictional issues and domicile ✅Advising on digital assets ✅Advising on ademption, abatement, and hierarchy of payments ✅Discussing appointment of executors, their role and replacements to avoid a partial intestacy ✅Ensuring the Will is correctly signed, witnessed and dated ✅Providing guidance, reassurance and peace of mind The list could go on… In the long run a homemade or holograph Will could end up costing your estate and loved ones MORE.

    We’re taking action to protect UK consumers opting for alternatives to high street solicitors when making a #will or getting #divorced.
