Privacy

Wills Made Simple (“WMS”) subscribes to data protection principles. All your information is treated as confidential and we promise you the same level of confidentiality as you would expect from a Solicitor’s practice.

Under the Code of Practice of The Society of Will Writers and Estate Planning Practitioners (“SWW” for short) no information about your affairs can be disclosed to any third party without your consent, unless there is a legal requirement to do so (such as a Court Order).

The Code of Practice also expressly states that as a member organisation we must abide by both data protection and money laundering legislation. Accordingly, you are safe in the knowledge that we will never discuss your affairs with any third party and that no information will ever be divulged about you or your Will unless you have specifically authorised us to do so, or unless we are legally compelled to do so.

Your details will never be passed on to any third party for telemarketing or any other purposes.

VAT Status

Although WMS is a business venture, we operate purposely under the small business turnover threshold regime.

To cut through the jargon, WMS does not need to be registered for VAT and therefore we do not charge VAT on the fees for our service. You will still get an invoice, but without the necessity for a VAT registration number.

It also means that when WMS quotes you a fee for writing your Will, that is the amount you actually pay – no need to add VAT!

Like everyone else, we still have to pay VAT on the supplies of goods and services made to us, but we cannot recover such VAT as an off-set against our own VAT liabilities.

You have the further right to have any records corrected that are wrong.
