What is Maplebrook’s mission statement as a franchise?
Our goal is, through knowledge and training, to empower will writers to be able to act in a way that helps their communities and, at the same time, earn a decent living. We do that through ongoing training and support, so we don’t leave anyone behind.
What are the benefi ts of being a will writer with Maplebrook Wills, as opposed to doing it alone? Our will writers understand that they’re not just a legacy planner trying to make a go of it on their own. There are thousands of will writers in the UK that are doing it on their own, but they don’t understand the value of having a support mechanism, where they have the facility to ask questions and gain knowledge easily. We provide that here. We have spent a lot of time and effort building these relationships because monetary success is an outcome, but true success is the ability to go through your community in a respected fashion because you get to know your clients. You’re going to establish credibility and you’re going to establish your presence, and people will start referring a lot more business to you. So, if you’re doing this on your own without a support mechanism, it’s very diffi cult. At Maplebrook Wills, we provide support, training and ongoing assistance and mentoring that will ensure not only the success of the franchise, but that the ultimate end is a good result in the community as well.

Aren’t there very cheap alternatives that you can buy online? While the bottom end of the will-writing market is served by £25 online wills, we are not concerned with that – the human part of our service cannot be automated and stands out in the industry. People tend to opt for DIY wills if,
for example, they’re about to have an operation. However, it’s very easy for errors to creep in, which could lead to parts of the will being invalid. The result might be a gift, potentially worth thousands of
service, there's also convenience. Rather than clients having to visit a solicitor’s offi ce, a Maplebrook Wills will writer can go to their home at a convenient time. They’ll discuss requirements in detail before drawing up a document, returning when it’s ready to sign. The process takes around two weeks from start to fi nish and typically involves no more than two hours of client time in total. l
