There has been a lot of bad press through the BBC owing to the fact that many will writers are unregulated. Writing a will is something that anyone can do, it is free and as long as it is witnessed by a non-relative, is legally binding.

According to the BBC, there are no legal qualifications with regard to writing of wills required, something that is being looked into needing changed. Therefore positive media is required in order to stand out from the crowd as a trustworthy business.
The industry is becoming more competitive as an increasing number of companies have will writing websites set up, and the ‘on-line’ service becomes more common. Keyed into search engines ‘will writing’ brings up over 1,440 million results, so certainly a growing market!

Choosing a marketing company to handle your PR campaign can be a challenge, as there are so many PR companies to choose from.
Based on recent media coverage, it would be advisable for you to consider agencies that have legal PR experience, as the government are looking into making it something that does require a legal qualification.
