Thank you for your campaign at Birchwood. This gave me the boost I needed to finally make a will.

The process from start to finish was very professional and informative. You outlined all aspects of the law when it comes to making a will and the aftercare is ongoing.

My mum, my husband and myself are more relaxed knowing our loved ones can ask you for help at any time and will not be confused when the inevitable happens.

Thank you Melissa,

Love from

I am fit, active, have a very lively social life and have been told I’m a pretty good dancer! Did I also mention that I’m 71? I didn’t think I had much in the way of ‘assets’ until I started totting up the value of my house, pieces of jewellery I’ve gathered over the years, even a couple of antique vases and ornaments. I want these things to go to family who have been there for me over the years, so decided to look into the best way to safeguard my belongings for my family. And at my age I need to start thinking about the future of my health. I’ve no intention of getting ill, but the question ‘What if…?” kept cropping up in my mind.

I’d never actually considered a Trust but after discussing the option with my Talking Wills Consultant it turns out it was the best option for me. I now know that if I need someone to make decisions over my living arrangements, healthcare or other important issues, I have nominated people I trust to make those decisions for me. Thanks to the Talking Wills team, I now have real peace of mind – which is something you really can’t put a price on.

I’m married and have 2 children, one lives abroad. I have my own house and am an avid collector. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a job that has taken me on travels to several countries where I’ve collected lots of artefacts. I want to share my most valued items between my 2 children but there are other pieces I want to leave to other family members. I found Talking Wills on the internet – it was important that I find a local company so I could sit down and really talk through my wishes.

My consultant was great and I felt she actually took an interest in all my prized possessions! I’m planning on getting back to some of those countries during my retirement, so I chose to use Talking Wills’ safe storage option for all my documentation. I’m not planning on popping my clogs just yet – but at least I know my wishes are catered for and my family know who’s looking after my estate. I feel like I can get on with living now!

I am divorced and have remarried. I have 3 children from my first marriage and 2 from my second. Relations with my first wife aren’t great and I wanted to make sure that my assets were shared equally among all my children without the need for my ex-wife to become involved. Talking Wills were recommended to me by a golfing mate – strange what you discuss at the 19th hole! I got in touch and had my own consultant throughout the whole process.

Talking Wills explained options to me and helped me make the decision that was right for me and my family. From the outset, I was dealt with professionally and although Wills and Trusts can appear quite sombre affairs the team made the process easy and not in the least bit morbid! It feels like a weight has been lifted and I can now enjoy time with all my family knowing that my children are taken care of. Many thanks to all the team at Talking Wills!
