How can you ensure clients use you when looking for a Will writer?

With the Willwriting sector growing on a daily basis, the number of professionals entering the market is continually going up.

As a result, consumers are becoming increasingly aware as to the importance of estate planning; something which can also be attributed to national campaigns and high profile inheritance cases.

However, whilst the public are starting to see the vitality of making plans for the future, how do you ensure that clients go to you when consolidating their final wishes?

When looking for a professional Will writer, clients will be in search of quality and trust. Although you know about the high standard of services you provide, clients don’t. That’s why it’s important to communicate this in as many ways as possible.

The Institute of Professional Willwriters is a recognised and exclusive body which has been the natural home for professionals who want to demonstrate their expertise in the Wills, Estate Planning and Probate market.

For over 25 years, professionals have chosen to become a part of the IPW community, with around 155 new professionals each year taking advantage of what membership offers; it’s not difficult to see why.

– Access to low-cost professional indemnity insurance. Differing to other policies available, this is highly comprehensive.

– Access to the only Willwriting Code of Practice which has been approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, enabling you to use this as an accreditation and demonstrate professionalism to consumers.

– Exclusive access to the Willwriting Academy Ltd; having recently achieved a CPD accreditation, the Academy provides high-quality update training and courses.

– Access to our exclusive Members Forum, enabling you to connect with like-minded professionals as well as gaining support and advice.
