Inquiry sanctioned on behalf of the Fellowship of Professional Will Writers and Probate Practitioners and published recently shows an terrifying 67% of consumers think that all will writers are solicitors. They unquestionably are not.
What’s worse, 82% of the consumers are under the impression that Will Writers have proper education and aptitude. Corrupt will writers can easily take advantage of unsuspecting consumers who are left with no hope for recompense.One such Will Writer, who was not a solicitor, was imprisoned for 8 years at Bristol Crown Court in October last year. He advertised himself as a financial adviser with a "home wills" business.
He victimized widows who had no kids, and saw to it he was made an initiator in their Wills. This allowed him to short-change the estates of 3 pensioners to the value of £800,000. The money intended for charity and caring for the sick, was instead rerouted to his own account.solicitors who write Wills are governed by the strict rules of the Solicitors Regulation Authority and must have a borderline of £2,000,000 insurance to cover any losses. The cost of having a Will prepared by your solicitor will vary depending on the level of attention you need. It is feasible to have Wills done on line with solicitors, Wills through the mail, or a intricate custom-made Will with Inheritance Tax advice as well.
There was another case wherein the entire estate went to the wife, leaving the mother and the son unrewarded, simply because the man failed to keep his will updated.
What he thought was a simple understanding between him and his estranged wife resulted in his other kin being disowned. The moral of the story is to check with the solicitor who made your Will, that there are no pitfalls or potential problems in what you attempt to attain.
Always ask for your solicitor’s counsel when making modifications in your will. Most solicitors would not make a charge for general advice of this nature, so there really is no reason in not asking. Keep in mind that if you plan ahead, your inheritors will not have to confront unforeseen financial troubles. Lawyers have spent many years building up a huge bank of confidence with the populace. Are you willing to risk having your will done by a person other than your solicitor?
