Why choose a law firm which has been accredited to the Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme?
WIQS accredited firms follow best practice procedures to meet the highest standards of technical expertise and client service in providing wills and probate advice to consumers.

- We will help you understand the issues involved in buying wills and probate advice to make a more informed choice from the outset.
- We will explain the process, the options, costs and likely timescales.
2. Receive a quality service and be kept up-to-date
- We will provide you with the name(s) of the person(s) responsible for your matter.
- We will agree how you want us to contact you and how often.
- We will communicate with you in plain English, explaining any legal terminology.
- We will reply to your questions within 48 hours or provide a timeframe for more complex issues.
- We will tell you when unforeseen issues affect the original cost estimate and timeframe and explain the impact.

3. Trust practices with WIQS
- WIQS is only open to law firms or other organisations that are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
- The Senior Responsible Officer or Head of Department must have at least three years’ experience of will drafting and estate administration.
