Hi guys,

A family friend of mine is looking for a will writing service - she cannot travel very far.
She doesn't use the internet so I had a quick Google search and found these three but I don't live in the area so I was just wondering if anyone has used these before or can recommend any?

Wace Morgan - https://wace-morgan.co.uk/
AdLaw - http://adlaw.uk/

Many thanks in advance!

    Use a solicitor rather than a will-writing company.

    Times three. Suggest she has a chat to her local friends and gets recommendations from them.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing

    @[Deleted User] It will cost more but the solicitor will ask all the "what if" questions. 

    Ring the local solicitors and get some quotes - if she can't get to them they will come to her home.

    When she meets them go armed with names and addresses and her thoughts of what should happen to her estate, who she wants as executors
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    Fifthed - my grandmother used a one-man-band will writing service and left herself open to challenges to the will as the will writer had not asked those "what if?" questions.
