Hi apologies if this isn't the best place to ask but its somewhat related.
My neighbour is a single guy in his mid 70s with no family (only child and all relatives have long since died). He's not in good health. He looks far older than his age. Anyway he wants to write a will before he dies (which he talks about all the time). He's immobile so will need a home visit. Has anyone organised this for someone or know of someone who had a home visit? Any recommendations?
He's tasked me with finding someone to make the home visit but I'm dubious of sending someone round incase they're cowboys or they rip him off and then he blames me. I've no experience of any of this so I'm literally just googling for 'home visit Will London'. Much prefer an actual recommendation.
From what I know he has very little in the way of assets. Property is rented under a protected tenancy scheme (so chicken feed rental costs). His flat is full of crap (bit of a hoarder) but he does have 'some cash'. Could be £1000, could be quite a bit more. I've no idea. Also no idea why he wants to write the will. No idea who he's going to leave it to. He definitely 'doesn't want the Government to get it' though. No idea why, he's been on benefits for a fair while in his life (prior to retiring).
BTW I'm definitely not after any of his 'assets'. Just trying to help out my neighbour (I'd rather not be doing it tbh). I think he should spend it all. Clean his flat up a bit. Enjoy his final years. But he won't.
My plan so far is to print off a list of will writers in the local area from here:

and tell him to phone a few more up.
