From what I've heard, anyone can set him or herself up as a will-writer, but they're not covered by the same professional code of practice as a member of the Law Society is.Margaret Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493624466366591603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-49061648225163147902010-09-14T13:16:39.286+01:002010-09-14T13:16:39.286+01:00No, I can't specify any particular companies o...No, I can't specify any particular companies outside my area, but you should be able to find a solicitor, a member of The Law Society, who's familiar with wills and probate, through your nearest CAB.Margaret Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493624466366591603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-15971359971282481422010-09-14T12:34:30.535+01:002010-09-14T12:34:30.535+01:00• I agree with Gloriamundi, you have definitely pr...• I agree with Gloriamundi, you have definitely provided excellent advice Margaret. I was planning on getting a Will written up for a few months now but I just have not had the time to research into it, it sounds like there is so many nitty gritty information you have to look over. Can you possibly provide me with some good companies I can turn to do this as you stated that not all of them are good. Also another reason I feel it is important to get one done is because a distant relative of mine recently had to contact a probate lawyer to make sure that the property and possessions held in the sole name of the deceased was released. She had to contact <a href="http://www.itclegal.com" rel="nofollow">ITC legal services</a> but it just made the process long and stressful in this already morbid situation.dell1015https://www.blogger.com/profile/14442168535690209083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-17671960799126060092010-09-06T12:00:32.923+01:002010-09-06T12:00:32.923+01:00Jolly good, glad you're sorting it.Jolly good, glad you're sorting it.Margaret Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493624466366591603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12550587.post-68025679906066310742010-09-06T08:20:16.682+01:002010-09-06T08:20:16.682+01:00Excellent advice Margaret.

I guess it's only natural not to enjoy contemplating one's own absence from the world, but if one doesn't come to terms with it, then a will is an uncomfortable document to approach. Unless you're young, in which case, you know, of course, that you'll live for ever...<br /><br />I think it's very helpful of you to take the opportunity of baby-naming to get people to think about a will. It seems to be the realisation that a very small and helpless being is entirely dependant on you that makes you do a "what if" and get on with a will; but then there's the whole very-busy-midlife-family-job-ageing-parents stuff that helps people put off making, or revising, a will.<br /><br />Which reminds me...must get on to it.gloriamundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476712899700515223noreply@blogger.com
