Project Will — Safe to Do Business With accreditation badge
The Problem

Anyone can call themselves an estate planner

The estate planning industry is unregulated. That means anyone can set up tomorrow and start writing Wills and LPAs with zero training. Clients deserve to know that the person handling their family's future actually knows what they're doing.

That's why we created the Project Will Accreditation — a free, straightforward way for estate planners to prove their competence. No gimmicks. No annual fees. No endless CPD modules. Just proof that you've been trained and tested.

How It Works

Three steps to accreditation

Getting accredited is simple. We don't believe in making things complicated — you've got clients to help.

Complete Free Training

Work through our free training programme on Become an Estate Planner. Learn everything you need to know about Wills, LPAs, Trusts, and client care — at your own pace.

2

Pass the Written Exam

Once you've completed the training, take our written exam. It's designed to confirm you have the knowledge and competence to serve clients safely and professionally.

3

Pass the exam and you're in. You'll receive our "Safe to Do Business With" badge, get listed on our accredited members page, and gain a mark of trust your clients can rely on.

What does the exam cover?

The written exam covers the core areas of estate planning — Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Trusts, and professional client care. It's designed to confirm you have the knowledge to serve clients safely and competently.

Do I need to pay annual fees or do CPD?

What if I'm already qualified elsewhere?

What happens if I don't pass the exam?

You can retake it. We'll let you know which areas to revisit, and you can have another go when you're ready. The goal is to help you get accredited, not to catch you out.
