A Letter from the Director General
Dear Reader,
Welcome from The Society of Will Writers to this Spring and Easter issue of Focus SWW.
This issue marks almost a year of the publication and according to the statistics from the previous issue, total views reached 500 with well over 2,500 total page views since it went live on January 3 rd 2017.
Focus SWW is the only emag to be published catering for both the professional and the consumer, as a guide through the maze of making a Will and the difficulties in decision making associated with the busy and growing complex situations families find themselves in.
Whether you are a consumer needing help or advice or you are a professional, please feel free to contact the SWW either by email at info @ willwriters. com or give us a call on 01522 687888.
In most people’ s minds, spring is the best time of the year. The advent of daffodils and crocuses heralds a new beginning, as well as the birth of spring lambs and the trees and hedgerows bursting into greenery. But sadly, all too short, showing that life is fragile.
So why not use this time of year to prepare for the unforeseen and unexpected, to show those you love and who depend you, that you cared enough to plan.
Doing it yourself, is not an option today, life is too complex, you do need the help and guidance of a professional.
Traditionally, it was always considered that a solicitor was the only option, but for over 25 years, there has been an alternative, one great advantage of using a professional Will Writer is that you can plan the meeting around you, and in the privacy and comfort of your own home without having to watch a clock. Using a member of the Society of Will Writers, means that the consultant taking your instructions has been properly trained and maintains their knowledge through yearly continuous professional development.
If you have trouble locating a member near you, call or email the Society’ s head office and they will put you in touch with members in your area.
