Spot the difference – Will Writer or Solicitor?
You don’t need a Solicitor to write a Will, but as they are qualified to write Wills, using a Solicitor can give real advantages and peace of mind.
Richard Dale, of Dale and Co. Solicitors in Lincoln, said ‘your Will is an important document and it is important to be confident that it clearly sets out your wishes, is enforceable and is thorough.
By using a qualified Solicitor to prepare your Will, you make sure that you are getting professional, quality advice. The consequences of having a badly prepared Will can be extensive. You may end up paying a lot more, the advice given may not be in your best legal interests or your Will may not clearly set out your wishes - or could even be invalid - leaving your family with an expensive muddle to sort out at an already difficult time.’
It can be very tempting to use Will Writing services – which often advertise very low fees and home visits, but check your options carefully. Recent research has stated that 67% of people believe that Will writers are all Solicitors – this is incorrect and it is important to know the difference.
‘Make sure that you check the credentials of the person writing your Will, and what is included in the price. It is also vital that you make sure that whoever makes your Will is properly insured - to guarantee their work’ said Mr. Dale.
Some Will writers charge hidden fees, and as you do not need qualifications to work as a Will writer, the completed Will may not be of the best quality. Solicitors are regulated and so their charges are likely to be less. They may also be able to store your Will for free. Dale and Co. Solicitors offer this service and will also send you Will reminders to make sure that your Will is always correct and up to date. All Solicitors will hold the necessary insurance, but as Will Writers are unregulated, they may not have this in place.
If you use a firm of Solicitors, you may deal with a qualified Legal Executive (who will use the initials F.Inst.L.Ex after their name). Legal Executives will provide you with the same benefits of using a Solicitor. They will be supervised by a Solicitor and, as part of a firm, will have access to a breadth of legal specialists that a Will writer will not.
If you have used a Will writer for your existing Will and are not confident of their qualifications, you can ask your Solicitors to check the document for you.
Dale and Co. Solicitors Lincoln are happy to check your Will for errors or omissions and will make sure that your Will clearly sets out your wishes. Call us on 01522 51 33 99 if you have any concerns.

Lincoln to launch its own Speaker’s Corner
You may have noticed a familiar face in the media this week. Solicitor Director Richard Dale has been on Look North and quoted in the Lincolnshire Echo publicising the Lincoln Speakers Corner Trust, of which he is the founding committee Chairman.
The new Speakers Corner in Lincoln will provide an open platform for public speaking, with an ethos of free speech and the sharing of ideas echoed from the original Speakers’ Corner in Hyde Park, London.
A pilot study on the 20th Feb to find suitable venues was highly successful, and attracted an enthralled and entertained audience.Dale & Co. Solicitors Lincoln Disclaimer Latest legal news from Dale and Co. Solicitors Lincoln
