Publisher's Synopsis
This book has been created by the Law Society to support the provision of will drafting, probate and estate administration services by its members. Adoption of the protocol is also a requirement of membership of the Law Society's Wills and Inheritance Quality Scheme. The protocol aims to raise standards of client care and service by setting out 'preferred practice' in will drafting, probate and estate administration, improving communication between practices, clients and beneficiaries, increasing transparency and therefore understanding of the will drafting, probate and estate administration processes, and encouraging practices to agree timescales and service levels with clients.
