The seminars: Will Drafting, Probate Practice Understanding Lasting Powers of Attorneys and Living Wills:

This series of private client seminars provides a thorough understanding of core private client practice, concentrating on Wills, Trusts, Probate and Lasting Powers of Attorneys.

Legal training with a twist: In addition to learning or brushing up on legal skills, throughout the series, we will be looking at how to make private client practice profitable by giving high value advice. We deal with how to uplift your earnings from wills by offering inheritance tax advice.

With clients increasingly shopping around for probate quotes, we show you how to make sure you don’t price yourself out of the probate market and still be profitable.

When it comes to Lasting Powers of Attorney, many solicitors are turning away clients because of the myths that have grown around the making of Lasting Powers, like “They’re too time-consuming” or “Clients won’t pay for the time”. We will tell you why it makes good business sense to do them and how to make Lasting Powers of Attorneys a profitable addition to your practice and get the business your competitors are missing out on.

No other private client course gives you this king of insight into making your private client practice profitable. The series is ideal for those who would like to increase their fee earning capability by broadening their practice into private client.

Who should attend?
• Solicitors and Notaries looking to widen their practice areas to include private client work.
• Trainee solicitors who are now in a probate seat or are expecting to do so in the near future.
