Do I have to appoint a solicitor to draw up my Will?

Will writing isn’t a regulated activity and that basically means that anybody can make a Will. You can even make one yourself. But if you use a law firm, not only will you get expert advice, so it’s not just a secretary or service that will type up what you ask them, but you’ll get expert advice and importantly, you will also get tax planning advice, so it could save you tens and possibly hundreds of thousands of pounds. Plus you have the added benefit of protection, because law firms will be regulated, they’ll be insured and so your loved ones won’t lose out in the event something does go wrong.
