The Good Will Guide

A no-nonsense…well-written and comprehensive guide for the layperson. Manchester Law Society Messenger - August 2013 Byron points out common mistakes and traps for the unwary. I liked much about this little book, which highlights the importance of making the decisions that are correct for individuals and their heirs. Written in the same clear and practical style as Last Orders, this impressive book is a comprehensive guide for the lay person. It will equip the reader with all of the information needed to take the next step and make a good will. - STEP Journal, October 2013 I finished reading The Good Will Guide last night and I really liked it. I thought it was very well-balanced between the various types of will preparers and gave plenty of information about wills so that consumers can make up their own minds. To be honest, it was refreshing to read something on the pros and cons of various will preparers that didn’t have a heavy bias one way or the other. Almost everything else I’ve read in this area has an agenda to push - whether it’s STEP, the Law Society, Institute of Professional Will Writers, Co-op, Saga, etc. The Good Will Guide certainly deserves to be as successful as Last Orders. - Stephen Sampson, Solicitor and TEP, Edward Hayes LLP Solicitors and Advocates, September 2014.
