Will writing
I had been given a recommendation from another member of EIS teaching union about the free service for teachers. It's something I've been meaning to do for years as our previous will did not include our two children.
The process was very straightforward and Martin was extremely helpful at all points of the process. Communication was quick and very helpful/clear. Would highly recommend.

EIS Will.
Making a will is not the most pleasant task. I feel that legal implications were clearly explained to me whilst I received clear advice and was given time to reflect upon decisions. Thank you.
