Dear reader,
A letter from the
Director General
On behalf of The Society of Will Writers, I’d like to wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous
new year.
2020 has been incredibly busy already for the team at the Society, with more members joining,
courses booking well into the year and plenty of plans being put in place for the coming months
in all areas of our work. There has never been a better time to enter the profession and this of
course means for you, the consumer, there is a plethora of options available to you for estate
planning services.
Winter for many signals the start of something new and I’m sure amny of you set yourselves
new year’s resolutions. Sometimes these can be hard to stick to for one reason or another, but
this year, as we do every year, I’d like to encourage you to ensure you get your affairs in order
and get a Will written. Even if you already have one, think back to when it was written or last
reviewed as there may have been changes in your personal circumstances or even in the law
which warrants it being revisited. Your Will is one of the most important documents you will
ever have and should always be kept up to date.
The Society now has over 1,700 members in the UK as well as even further afield such as Europe,
Asia and now Africa too. It’s likely that wherever you are, or wherever you find a concentration
of expats, you’ll find a member of ours.
We have now launched a new website with a greatly improved ‘Find a Member’ function. Here
you can search for any member who may be nearby, or even to check their credentials. If you
would like to confirm someone claiming to be a member is a member, you can also call the office
at any time or send us an email and the team will be more than happy to help.
If you have any questions regarding the content of this magazine, or about the Society in general,
please do get in touch. The team and I wish you all the best for the coming months and the year
ahead.
