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 .
