Plan for the inevitable Community Interest Company offering legal services in Sussex
Making a will is something many people will put off, not wishing to think about later life and death. It is important to remember, however, that when a person dies intestate (without a will) the rules of intestacy will designate how the estate will be allocated and this may not be in accordance with the deceased's wishes and can lead to disharmony and acrimony within families.
Ensuring affordability for low income families

If cost is a worry then Sussex Wills CIC could provide an answer as Radford Chancellor explained to Sussex Local that they offer a range of highly affordable services including single and mirrored wills, trusts, Power of Attorney, Probate and legacy planning. Being a “not for profit” Community Interest Company means that 70% of profit is reinvested in their community interest activities. For those in financial hardship or with a terminal prognosis, a free will writing service is available. Radford is fully aware that some legal services are simply unaffordable to some low income families and he feels strongly that the establishment of this social enterprise will go some way to address this inadequacy so that crucial guidance to complicated issues will become more readily available.
Estate Planning Practitioners
Sussex Wills he confirmed are full members of the Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners and are regulated by them. They aspire to their objectives of advancement, education and ethical standards within the Estate Planning Practitioners profession. In today's society, divorce, remarriage, children and step children can have a pivotal affect on families so the importance of making suitable arrangements for the future is paramount.
Outside of his business, Radford enjoys cycling, skiing, cooking and is an active member of the historic House Association.
