Being a member of the Society of Will Writers comes with a range of practical benefits that support you, your business, and your clients. Whether you’re just starting out or more established, membership is designed to help you build trust, develop professionally, and feel supported in what you do.
Increased Visibility & Client Trust
One of the biggest advantages is the added credibility that comes with being a member. You’re included in the public “Find a Member” directory, making it easier for potential clients to find you and choose a will writer they can trust.
You can also use the Society’s logo, which helps show that you work to recognised standards. For clients, especially when dealing with something as important as wills, that reassurance really matters.
Financial & Commercial Advantages
Membership also brings some useful cost savings. There are discounts on training courses and professional development, making it more affordable to keep your skills up to date.
You’ll also get discounted access to Sure Will services, which can help reduce running costs. On top of that, there’s access to Professional Indemnity Insurance through the Society’s partnership with Marsh, as well as marketing support to help you grow and protect your business.
Professional Development & CPD Support
Keeping up to date is essential in this profession, and the Society makes that easier. There’s structured CPD support available, including webinars and online quizzes.
This helps you stay current with best practice, legislation, and industry standards, so you can continue to provide a high level of service to your clients.
Guidance, Resources & Practical Tools
You’ll have access to a members-only area with a range of helpful resources, including member guides and templates that you can use in your day-to-day work.
There are also document storage facilities available, giving you and your clients added security and peace of mind when it comes to important paperwork.
Support, Mentoring & Community
Membership isn’t just about tools and resources — it’s also about being part of a professional community. There’s a mentor scheme in place to support newer members, as well as ongoing guidance for those with more experience.
Regional groups offer opportunities to connect with others, share knowledge, and build relationships locally. Overall, it means you’re never on your own — there’s always support there when you need it.
