Wrigleys follows a new code of practice for Will writers

04 April 2014

A new Code that came into force on 1 April 2014, has been introduced to help protect members of the public seeking advice on a Will.

Will writing is not a regulated activity in England & Wales, so anyone can set themselves up as a will writer and charge a fee regardless of training or experience.

This Code, introduced by The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) helps the public to differentiate between people offering a Will service. Many of Wrigleys solicitors are full members of STEP and so can offer this service.

Through a series of ethical principles the Code demonstrates a standard of transparency and service that a client can expect from a STEP member preparing their will.

The range of standards that practitioners must adhere to under the Code include:

  • avoiding conflicts of interest
  • clearly explaining cost implications to clients and
  • managing clients’ private information appropriately
