Schweitzer Klassifikation
Rachael Rodgers is the owner of Heir Tight Wills & Estate Planning Ltd, based in Kent and covering London and the South East, dealing predominantly with clients referred to her by various professional introducers; financial advisors, accountants and solicitors. Rachael explains how she got into Will writing in the first place: "Having spent many years in Business Development looking after the needs (and protecting the assets) of large corporate organisations, I was employed in the city when the bombs went off in July 2005. This was my 'light-bulb moment'. I didn't live in London; I didn't need to work in London - and I didn't have a Will!" It was in researching the solutions for her own requirements that Rachael got hooked on the whole concept of Estate Planning. Rachael joined the industry's largest professional organisations; the Institute of Professional Will Writers (IPW), and Society of Will Writers (SWW), and put herself through their full range of College courses. She then found herself a very experienced mentor, who guided her through her ongoing learning process. In a few short years Rachael was running her own company and drafting all the documents herself. Her reputation spread, and she was taken on by a firm of Solicitors with branches across Kent and London to provide Will writing services to their business and consumer clients. Rachael went on to further her expertise; gaining the highest qualification in Will preparation and drafting (unlike many Solicitors), through the industry's leading body STEP - the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners. This has enabled her to expand her reach, by utilising the services of specially selected professionals to provide the regulated services her clients require, but which she herself is unable to supply.
