Certified professional
As a member of The Society of Will Writers, I adhere to recognised professional standards, undertake ongoing training, and am committed to providing a reliable and trustworthy service—giving you complete peace of mind when planning your future.
Why Choose a Society of Will Writers Member?
1. Recognised Standards and Professional Membership
Members of the Society of Will Writers agree to follow a code of practice, giving you reassurance that your will writer works to recognised professional standards.
2. Ongoing Training and Expertise
SWW members have access to continuous training and updates to stay current with changing laws and best practices—helping ensure your will is accurate and up to date.
Importantly, individuals cannot become members without first completing a comprehensive training course and successfully passing exams, demonstrating a solid foundation of knowledge from the outset.
3. Commitment to Best Practice
Membership shows a commitment to doing things properly. This includes:
- Clear, transparent processes
- Ethical client care
- Accurate documentation
4. Professional Indemnity Insurance
Many SWW members hold professional indemnity insurance, offering an extra layer of protection and peace of mind for you and your family.
5. Dispute Resolution Support
If any concerns ever arise, the Society provides a complaints and mediation process, giving you an independent route for resolution.
6. Trusted and Vetted Professionals
Choosing a member means working with someone who has:
- Been accepted into a recognised professional body
- Demonstrated commitment to the industry
- Access to industry guidance and support
7. Better Estate Planning Advice
Members are more likely to be knowledgeable about:
- Inheritance tax planning
- Trusts
- Protecting vulnerable beneficiaries
This leads to more comprehensive and tailored advice.
While I can guide you through estate planning considerations, I am not a qualified tax specialist, so it is always recommended to seek advice from a suitably qualified professional for full and detailed inheritance tax (IHT) planning.
8. Peace of Mind
Most importantly, using an SWW member means you’re not just getting a will—you’re getting confidence that your wishes will be handled carefully and professionally.
