Shawn Wood

The demand for wills has soared in the past month after the global health crisis sparked a surge of people enquiring about getting their affairs in order.

Solicitors at Watermans Legal will now be offering virtual services to those wishing to obtain a will.

Solicitor Shawn Wood said: “The current situation has really made people think twice about getting their affairs in order and there has been many concerned people wondering if they can still create a will without face to face contact.

“A will can be drawn up quickly. After an initial consultation, we can prepare a draft will which can be emailed or posted for review. Once approved, we will send a final version for signing. Once signed, the hard copy must be returned to our office to allow us to complete the will. We will then send a copy to the client.

“We could also mention that we can prepare a power of attorney too which allows clients to appoint a person/people to deal with their financial and / or welfare affairs should they lose capacity. We also offer a package deal for both will and PoA as per the website.”
