Appointments are done by phone, Skype, Zoom or any other online platform that your employees feel most comfortable with. Appointments usually last about half an hour on average. Once the instructions are received, they are sent to our legal team, consisting of lawyers and qualified STEP staff who draft the will and return it directly to the client by mail. All of our wills are prepared on a consultative basis – each consultation is tailor-made and each will is written accordingly, as opposed to online templates to ensure the best possible service. NHS Discount: Accord offers a free will writing service to all NHS staff. This entitles employees to comprehensively advised service, including a free telephone consultation with a local estate planning specialist. This entitles all NHS staff to basic free will. To apply for a free will, please email [email protected] with your name, phone number and job title. A member of our booking team will then contact you to arrange your appointment. Since my last email regarding our Free Wills initiative, everyone at Accord has been incredibly busy helping key workers across the UK make their way. The acceptance of the offer was incredible; To date, we have received over 60,000 requests from a wide range of professions, including NHS staff, police, firefighters, pharmacists, distribution, logistics, HMRC, teachers, supply staff and transport workers, to name a few. We are incredibly proud of the work we have done and the number of people we have helped put their affairs in order. So far, in a few months, it`s in the thousands.
As social distancing eases slightly and many jobs return to some sort of normality, we are committed to continuing this free service for all key employees and will continue to offer it. Accord offers this unique service, which is truly free, as a gesture of goodwill and as a true thank you to all the important workers who make our country work in these uncertain times. We believe this is the least we can do in the current climate – neither you nor your employees will pay a penny for their will. Unlike other providers that offer similar services, Accord does not require us to act as executors under the will, and we do not charge any hidden fees. It`s really FREE. We are fully committed to ensuring that all important employees put their affairs in order. For Accord, it`s about giving back, not making a profit. Accord Legal Services is one of the UK`s largest and most innovative property planning providers. Since April 2020, Accord has been offering a free will-writing service to key workers, including all NHS staff.
Since then, we have helped several thousand NHS staff to give free rein to their wills to recognise their valuable work during the pandemic. Accord is also able to provide expert advice on a number of other issues, including trusts, continuing powers of attorney and more. Our advice is provided as part of a full service provided by phone, Zoom, Skype or any other platform of your choice. The advice you receive is tailor-made and tailored to your situation to ensure you receive the best possible service. Every week we are proud to work with more and more NHS trusts, ambulance services, prison services and other key industries. A list of these can be found on our partner page here: “After trying to make a will for a few years, I saw Accord Legal Services offer free will to all key social media employees. From the email touchpoint, the team gave me a quick response with detailed key information. The appointment was made by phone at a time that suited me, and the team member who made my appointment was always knowledgeable, reassuring and polite. I felt confident knowing that my personal information and the details of my wishes were in good hands.
I am so grateful and grateful to the team for helping me organize my willpower – it has made a very difficult time and a much easier topic” Recently, the news has been talking about a second wave of COVID-19 cases and, unfortunately, more deaths. With this announcement, we see a trend and a further increase in the volume of requests, which shows that there is still a great demand for this free offer. When we talk to key workers on a daily basis, we hear stories like key workers with partners who protect themselves, who are really afraid that something will happen to them if they get sick with COVID-19 and bring them home. People are desperate to get their affairs in order, just in case the worst happens.

We work with well-known names such as charities, construction companies and others to reassure our skills. Thus, you can feel safe and comfortable recommending Accord`s services to your employees.
We recently had the pleasure of negotiating estate planning with Carol Dooley, where she wrote wills for my husband and I. I can`t recommend Carol anymore, she was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating (we had to reschedule several times). I don`t usually recommend people or ask for details, so I can leave comments, but I just had to do it because it`s so important not only for you and your loved ones to have a will, but also to know what you might need specifically for your situation, and then let the nicest person talk to you, is a real bonus! Thank you Carol! www.accordlegalservices.co.uk/work/partners/ Our advisors can also advise you on a range of other estate planning services, including taxes, continuing powers of attorney, escrow services and estate in case someone needs additional professional advice.

Soon I will start my own family, their professionalism and expertise gave me the confidence that my business would go well if the unexpected happened. This pandemic has proven that none of us know what lies ahead. Making a will may not be at the top of everyone`s list of priorities right now, but it`s still crucial. We want to make it easier than ever for our key workers to remove this task from their to-do list by making the Free Wills for Key Workers Initiative our way of giving back. Over the next few weeks, we will be working primarily from home, with skeletal staff who will staff the office to ensure that documents are sent and mail is received. We are taking all possible measures to ensure that our employees, consultants and clients are protected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, Friday, March 20 is our last day with a full staff at headquarters.
