The Institute has been in existence since 1991, and as of our March 2025 AGM has 860 members. It has been the natural home for practitioners wanting to demonstrate and increase their expertise in Wills and Estate Planning to their clients. Owned by, and run by it's members, the IPW/ISPW is a democratic organisation, prioritising it's members and their clients. Every member has a voice.
The Institute is a not-for-profit self-regulatory
organisation, attracting members from a range of areas including private
practice and financial services, as well as solicitors, barristers and
accountants. Sole member firms through to large national companies have chosen
to join the organisation, having seen the benefits that membership has to
offer. We have a simple set of standards.
