Willwriters?

Has anyone used the Society of Willwriters to draw up a will?

Thanks for any info

    I saw a program a couple of weeks ago about people being ripped off by will writers. Something about little t&cs and % of inheritance that wasnt mentioned or whatever. Im not suggesting this company is like that but it may be wise to double/treble check everything or simply go through solicitors.

    Solicitors are equally adept at ripping you off.

    The problem the programme was highlighting was not the wills themselves - but committing your heirs to use the services of the will writing company/solicitor that drew up the will to get probate and then be at the mercy of their rates/percentages.
