Will writing, astonishingly, is not classed as a reserved activity and does not need to be regulated by the Law Society. There isn’t even a requirement for insurance. This means that anyone can start a Will writing business and can charge a tiny amount for drafting services. However, what you won’t get is protection, legal experience and suitable advice about what should be in your Will. Estate Planning, Will drafting and subsequent probate/estate administration is a complex area of law. Anyone can draft a 'valid' Will, with some help from the internet, but behind a professionally drafted Will you get the advice that can mean the difference between tax and no tax, or gifts failing.
