A letter from the
Director General
Dear reader,
Welcome to the Spring issue of Focus
SWW. Now approaching 3 years in
publication it remains the only Estate
Planning emagazine catering to both the
public and the professional covering Wills,
Lasting Power of Attorney, Trusts as well
as Funeral Planning and much more.
Spring is for many the best time of year,
not just because the weather begins to
warm, but also for all the new life and
new beginnings which the season brings.
Life as we know is becoming all the more
complex. As families grow, the need for
writing a Will is all the more important. A
Will ensures peace of mind for you and
your loved ones knowing that in the event
of your death everything has been taken
care of. Writing a Will does not need to be
difficult or stressful.
It used to be considered that Solictors
were your only choice, however for over 25
years now there has been an alternative.
Get your Will written by a professional Will
Writer who is a member of the Socety.
This year the Society celebrates its 25 th
anniversary which means since 1994
we’ve enforced a code of practice, as
well as other mandatory requirements
such as insurance and annual training
requirements. Over this time we have
2
The Society of Will Writers
become the leading body representing
Will Writers and no longer just in England
and Wales.
Through our training facility The College of
Will Writing we have now introduced all
new online courses which has elevated
the Society of a truly global status with
members in Europe, Asia and the Middle
East.
If you’re looking to locate a member in
your local area, either visit our website or
call the Society head office and a member
of the team will be more than happy to
help and assist in any way possible.
