I used The Planning Bee to help me with Wills for my Wife & myself. A Professional Company, and we were both 100% happy with all the help he gave us. Service like this, these days is so hard to find and get.

We just had our wills renewed with two LPAs. We looked online for someone to help with this and booked an appointment with Spencer Shaw from the Planning Bee. We found him very pleasant and helpful.

The Planning Bee was suggested to me by a friend. The consultant explained everything to me on the phone, then visited me at home and was very polite, knowledgeable and informative.

It’s a fair instinct, and will feels like something only a solicitor should touch. What actually makes a will watertight is that it’s professionally drafted and properly regulated, not whose letterhead it’s on.
Our specialists are trained and regulated to that same standard, and every will carries the same £2,000,000 indemnity cover a solicitor’s firm would hold. The real difference is the price.
Yes. There’s no legal requirement for a will to be drafted by a solicitor. A will needs to be properly executed and witnessed to be valid, which every will we write is. Ours are drafted by regulated professionals and backed by £2,000,000 indemnity insurance, exactly as a solicitor’s would be.
Solicitors typically bill by the hour across a full legal practice, and will writing is one small part of what they offer. We focus purely on wills, which lets us run a streamlined, fixed-fee process and pass the savings straight to you rather than charging solicitor overhead rates for the same document.
Our specialists are regulated members of the Institute of Paralegals, the National Association of Licensed Paralegals and the Society of Will Writers, and every will is backed by £2,000,000 of professional indemnity cover.
