Will writing should be regulated, say 55% of more than 1,500 members of the public who responded to a YouGov survey for the Law Society. Nearly 90% of those who have had a will drafted by a solicitor said they were satisfied with the quality of service provided. Jonathan Smithers, President of the Law Society, says: “It is encouraging to see that the public are beginning to recognise the importance of using a solicitor over an unregulated will writer.”
