Accord Legal Services: wills and estate planning in the United Kingdom

Accord Legal Services is a British firm dedicated to will writing and other estate planning services. Its activity is structured around four main areas: wills, probate, lasting powers of attorney and free consultation. The company presents itself as "the UK's most trusted will writers", a claim that corresponds to its own commercial communication.

The firm has consultants distributed throughout the country, as indicated on its own website, and offers the possibility of arranging a home visit with the local consultant. The initial consultation is free and can be requested through a booking form in which the user indicates the type of consultation, date and time.
