STEP Will Writing Code awarded to Yvonne Carratt


JMP Solicitors' director and head of later life legal planning, Yvonne Carratt has been awarded an accreditation from the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners in respect of Will writing.
The STEP Code for Will Preparation in England & Wales is a set of ethical principles that operate for the benefit of clients and demonstrate openly the commitment of STEP members to transparency and client service. It recognises that, in providing will preparation services, STEP members should operate within an ethical environment.

There has been a growing trend in recent years for people to use off the shelf Will making kits and Will writing companies with little or no experience of law. It is important that when you make a Will, you instruct a specialist so as to benefit from their years of legal training and experience in the provision of Wills, Trusts and Probate law.

By using Will writing companies and off the shelf products many people think they have a Will and companies are selling these products in the knowledge that the client will never know if the Will was defective in any way.

To make an appointment with Yvonne Carratt to discuss making a Will or renewing an existing Will please contact her on 01476 565 295 or via email on ycarratt@jmp-solicitors.com.
