Meaningful work
You are helping families protect their home, their children and their wishes. Every client leaves with something they did not have when they sat down.
Join the industry
Two ways in.
Build your own practice with our UKRLP-registered training partner, or write business under the Project Will name while we handle everything behind it. Different trade-offs, both real careers.
01 / Why this industry
Work that matters, on your own hours.
Flexible by nature
Work from home, set your own hours, see clients when it suits both of you. It fits around caring responsibilities and other jobs, which is why many people start here.
No ceiling
Earnings depend entirely on how much work you bring in and which route you take. Part-time alongside another job is common; so is full-time replacing one.
02 / Two pathways
Own the practice, or own the clients.
Route A
Train and build your own business
BecomeAnEstatePlanner.co.uk takes complete beginners through to qualified practitioners. You own the practice, the clients and the income — and you carry the company and the compliance with it.
- Structured course, no prior legal experience needed
- Free accreditation on completion
- Business setup guidance and marketing templates
- Willo licence and community access
Best for people who want full control, are comfortable carrying some risk, and want to build something of their own.

You decide what to charge the client. Everything above the £150 a month and £50 a document is yours.
Best for people who want to earn from estate planning without running a business — including part-timers and anyone testing the water.

Things people ask before they start.
Do I need any qualifications to start?
No formal qualification is required — will writing is not a reserved legal activity in England and Wales. Training absolutely is required, and the course covers it. Most successful estate planners arrive from completely unrelated backgrounds: retail, healthcare, teaching, the forces.
How much can I realistically earn?
It depends on what you charge and how much work you bring in, so treat any figure as a range rather than a promise. Under our brand your costs are fixed and visible — £150 a month plus £50 per document — so everything you charge the client above that is yours. Running your own practice removes the monthly fee but you carry the company and the compliance instead. Call us with the hours you actually have and we will work through a realistic picture rather than an encouraging one.
What's the difference between the two routes?
Training lets you build your own business and keep the whole profit, but you handle the company, the compliance and the admin. Working under our brand means we handle those, and you pay £150 a month plus £50 per document instead — no commission is taken from what you charge. Different trade-offs suit different circumstances.
Can I switch from one to the other?
Yes, and many people do. Starting under our brand is a low-risk way to learn the industry, then moving to your own practice once you are confident. We support that move rather than blocking it.
How long before I see my first client?
That is down to how quickly you work through the training and how fast you start talking to referral partners. Call 0333 049 5033 and we will give you an honest timeline rather than an encouraging one.
Not sure which route suits you?
A ten-minute call will tell you more than any brochure — including if the honest answer is that this is not for you.
