Clive, with the greatest respect to solicitors, there is nothing they can do in a will that an IPW member can't. Of course they do more complicated wills than the basic ones, with prices to match. But better than that, they don't do anything that isn't a will, hence there is nothing else they will try and sell you.
Someone who wants to become an IPW member has to sit a lot of exams in order to make sure their advice is sound, then do CPD to keep heir knowledge up to date. Some solicitors are very knowledgeable about wills, but it's possible for a solicitor to be fully qualified without ever having any training at all about wills and probate, as it's an optional module in a law degree.
Honestly. Willwriters can't do wills for people with an estate under £500,000? If that was true, there wouldn't be any in London.
