Why use the IPW

Why Use an IPW Member to Write Your Will?

The Institute of Professional Willwriters (IPW) was founded with two principal aims:

  • To promote the highest possible standards within the Will writing profession
  • To protect the interests of its members and of the public

All Members of the Institute.........

  • are qualified by examination to write Wills and associated documents
  • have £2million Professional Indemnity Insurance cover to protect their clients
  • have undergone a criminal records check
  • undertake regular refresher training to update their knowledge
  • are subject to the IPW disciplinary Code of Practice

Most Members of the Institute.........

  • offer a home-visit service by appointment, often in the evening if that is more convenient to their client
  • offer a fixed fee
  • offer secure storage arrangements for documents
  • offer advice and documentation on matters associated with Wills such as Lasting Powers of Attorney, Advance Decisions (Living Wills) and creating property Tenancies in Common
  • have £5m Public Liability insurance cover
