About Us
Raising the standard of professional practice
The College of Will Writing exists to provide the highest quality specialist education to Will writers, estate planners, and legal professionals throughout England and Wales.
Our Mission
Specialist training, built by practitioners
The College of Will Writing is the training arm of the Society of Will Writers, the UK’s leading membership body for professional Will writers.
Founded with the goal of improving standards across the Will writing sector, the College has grown into one of the UK’s most respected providers of specialist legal training, covering Will writing, estate planning, lasting powers of attorney, trusts, and tax.
We deliver courses from our dedicated training facility in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, as well as a growing range of distance learning programmes for those who prefer to study at their own pace or cannot attend in person.
All of our courses are designed and delivered by practising professionals. We believe that the best training comes from people who are active in the field.
