The fourth Today’s Wills and Probate Professional Roundtable is happening next week, and preparations are already well underway.
Set to take place at Slater and Gordon’s prestigious Manchester City Centre offices, the team can’t wait to engage with professionals from across the sector and discuss the challenges faced within this growing industry.
Kindly sponsored by DPL Professional, Today’s Wills and Probate are excited to bring together some key industry figures to discuss the issues within the sector that matter to them. The event follows the success of the previous three Roundtables, providing interested parties with a platform to share their views and gain practical advice from like-minded professionals.
Making their mark as a key event on the professional calendar, the Roundtables serve as a valuable source of information and sector awareness development, not to mention a prime opportunity for attendees to compare challenges.
Taking place on the 9th May and welcoming a talk on Legacies by James Tarleton Chair of Will Aid, the much-anticipated meeting will focus on hearing the voices of the attendees, providing all with a chance to network with peers, discuss the future of the sector and influence the topics we write about.
The event will also feature an opportunity to highlight key issues within the industry; if you have any topics which you think should be discussed by our attendees, please get in touch.
To suggest a topic or to find out how you can attend our Roundtables in future, please email karen.babington@practicalvision.co.uk.
There will be a full write up from the day following the event.

This isn’t just about the sector per se. Greater focus should be placed upon the distribution channels some of these firms are using and the significant commissions available to, at times, quite random third parties “flogging” products they know nothing about. The firms involved know who they are and so does most of the estate planning and financial services sector, but they can carry on regardless until a demand is made upon what the consumer has paid for and there are insufficient funds left in the pot. It is a huge mis-selling scandal waiting to be uncovered. Clients have told me they have just been told to sign here and here and they have no real idea what they have actually purchased or what it includes. More importantly, they do not know what it doesn’t include.
