Will-writing code of practice approved by OFT (May 2010)

Our will-writing member Colin Snaith has announced that the code of practice recommended by his regulatory body, the Institute of Professional Will-Writers (IPW), has been approved by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). Awarded under the OFT’s Consumer Codes Approval Scheme (CCAS), the approval means that Colin can display the OFT CCAS logo on his stationery and marketing materials. He comments: ‘This is great news for me and other IPW members as we can prove to our clients that we’re compliant with the IPW’s code of practice and give them the reassurance that we’re providing trustworthy advice and value for money’. Colin will also be giving a talk about wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney to the Keyworth Advisory Bureau on 26th May 2010. Please contact him if you would like further details.
