A Letter from the
Director General
Dear reader,
Welcome from the Society of will Writers to
this Summer issue of Focus SWW.
This issue marks one year in publication,
and a very good year it has been. Viewing
figures from the most recent issue have
quadrupled from those of the first, and
reader engagement from members of the
public, as well as members of the Society
has been very positive. In this second year,
we aim to not only expand the content of
the magazine, but also its reach to firmly
cement Focus SWW as The Succession Law
Emag.
As mentioned in previous letters, Focus
SWW is the only Emag which caters to both
the professional and the consumer with
regard to the making of a Will, and all the
complexities that they can often involve.
At The Society of Will Writers, we believe
strongly in promoting the need for a Will,
and only through educating the public and
our members can we ensure successful
and efficient Estate Planning. As always,
we encourage anyone seeking advice, or
looking to locate a SWW member to contact
us either by phone, on 01522 68 78 88, by
email at [email protected] or by visiting
our website at www.willwriters.com.
With the Summer months ahead, many of us
are no doubt looking forward to spending
time with our families and enjoying the
company and joy that they bring us.

It can of course serve as a reminder that the
time we get to share with the ones we love
is precious, and not be taken for granted.
All too often families are left to deal with all
of the stress that comes when trying to deal
with the deceased’s estate at a time when
they really ought to just be grieving.
It would be wise to use this time of year to
plan for the future and really show those
you love that you care for them enough
to remove as many as possible of the
burdens and stresses that will arise after
you’re gone.
I, along with the rest of the team here at The
Society of Will Writers wish you the very best
for this summer, and hope you make the
most of few days of sunshine we’ll be lucky
to get. Remember to plan for the future, and
to always ensure you use a professional to
ensure this is done correctly.
