In 2015 I decided to take a course to enable me to become a Member of the Society of Paralegals specialising in Estate Planning. I obtained the highest designation of Fellowship after passing 10 assignments and a 3 hour exam in London. I then decided that I needed to have a greater understanding about Wills and Trusts even though after nearly 50 years of reading them and taking complex exams on taxation and trusts I attended a course and took a 3 hour examination to become a Member of the Society of Will Writers.
The reason that potential clients should not fear asking me for advice is due to my unique selling point. You will have an advisor with all of the above experience on wills, taxation, paralegal work, trusts and nearly 50 years of sitting in front of thousands of people who need advice, and that is very different to most High Street Lawyers or Will Writers.
