In an uncertain world there is now Certainty
Monday, July 27th, 2009
Registering a client’s Will delivers real benefits to the Wills and Probate professional in addition to the families of the deceased. For if a Will cannot be found the consequences may be two-fold:
- The estate is deemed intestate, so the testator’s wishes are in effect ignored.
- The solicitor who prepared the undiscovered Will loses the probate work.
The Certainty National Will Register addresses both of these issues. It enables a solicitor to register or search for a Will in just 60 seconds, safeguarding the interests of public and the profession alike. But the benefits don’t stop there because Certainty also provide the means of turning a firms Will bank into a source of future business.
Certainty has integrated a free Will management and marketing system giving a firm access to a very powerful revenue building resource. Registering a Will with Certainty automatically sets up a scheduled chain of events, including periodic Will review notifications, complete with precedent letters and associated marketing collateral. By empowering the firm to easily and effectively keep in touch with their client base, Certainty’s system assists to generate new instructions without distraction from the demands of the daily workload.
The benefits are both long-term and immediate. Registration means that the testator’s family can quickly find which firm prepared the deceased’s Will and give them probate instructions. At the same time Certainty enables Will and Probate practitioners to easily access the ‘new marketing culture’, triggered at the point of Will registration. It also allows cross-selling of the firm’s range of private client and commercial services.
The Certainty National Will Register with its localised search engine puts every member firm on the internet, increasingly the first port of call for clients looking for a reliable service.
In the face of the impending Legal Services Act it gives the profession a powerful competitive edge against unregulated competitors, licensed conveyancers seeking a foothold in probate work and supermarkets alike.
Certainty’s rounded approach – with its absolute focus on regulated professionals – enables the Will and Probate practitioner to prepare for and succeed in this fast-changing marketplace.
