WILL written by member of Society of will writers?

everfor007

My WILL is written by the Member from Society of will writers who got in recogination of achieving SWW code compliance.  
But when trying to register my WILL through https://www.nationalwillregister.co.uk/  under solicitor name search i can't find his company name. 

My question, is my WILL valid under as per UK law, as it's not written by solicitor? And how to registry/upload  into national archive? kindly advise

RAS

It doesn't matter who the will was written by.

It does matter if it was signed correctly by yourself and witnesses.

It also matters if your will is written in a way that cannot be misinterpreted or challenged.

Meantime use the HTMCS option to store the will with the government probate service. Costs £20.

That's because a member of the SWW does not have to be a solicitor, and probably isn't. 

What RAS says is quite true. One thing to consider: did this person appoint themselves as an executor? Another thing: does the will do what you want it to do?

In order to be valid, the only requirements for a will is that it is
1. In writing
2. signed by the testator (you) in the presence of 2 witnesses 
3. Singed by two witnesses who saw you sign and who were in your presence and that of each other when they signed as witnesses. 

Of course, for it to effectively achieve what you want, you will want a bit more than  that, but there is no requirement that it is prepared by a solicitor

Only one witness required in Scotland.
