Movin’ Legal has introduced a series of free ‘live’ online one-hour CPD-accredited wills training courses to all intermediaries.

The course, validated by the CPD Certification Service, is run by Movin’ Legal key relationship director Emma Hall (pictured).

54% of clients – including those who take out a life policy – do not make a will, Movin’ Legal said.

John Ahmed, chief executive of Movin’ Legal, said: “This is all about how we can make intermediaries feel confident in discussing wills with their clients.

“We are at the height of a pandemic but this is something that should not be overlooked and will smooth over the nooks and crannies for the client should anything arise at a future date.

“And obviously family circumstances change – it’s important that when they do that your will changes with you and your family for the benefit of all.”

Hall added: “This is really about enabling brokers and introducers to add to their portfolio and expand on the advice that they can give to their clients. People’s circumstances are changing all the time – the help of Bank of Mum and Dad; buying as an unmarried couple and let alone the examples of divorce, children and dependents from another marriage. This can be a future minefield for any client not if it’s mapped out at an early stage.”
