Focus SWW Spring 2018 | Page 4

A letter from the Director General Dear Reader, It may not quite feel, or even look like it outside, but Spring is certainly upon us. The ‘Beast from the East’ now seems to be behind us and we can look to warmer weather on the horizon. With Spring comes the latest issue of Focus SWW, now just 1 issue away from 2 years in publication and still it remains the only Estate Planning Emagazine catering to both the consumer and the professional. This issue focuses largely on the importance of safe storage of Wills and the steps you could take to ensure that when the time comes, documents can be quickly and easily found. Spring is a time for the new; trees begin to blossom, the daffodils grow and lambs are born. Therefore it only makes sense at this time of year to think about either writing a Will if you do not yet have one, or perhaps it is time to update an existing Will to account for any changes in personal circumstances. I am pleased to say that the Society is continues to grow from strength to strength. The benefits that membership to our organisation brings is attracting more and more entrants from all over 2 The Society of Will Writers the UK, meaning that wherever you are, there will likely be a member of the SWW nearby. We even have members further affield, making the SWW a truly international organisation. All members of the SWW are fully trained and insured for the work that they carry out. They can meet with you in the comfort of your own home and at a time that is convenient for you. You can search for a member using our website, or you can call the office and one of our friendly team will do their best to help you.
