According to the Alzheimers Society, 900,000 people are living with Dementia in the UK today and this is expected to rise rapidly. Many of these people will go on to write wills or have already; their dementia doesn’t necessarily mean they lack capacity to do so. Therefore, it is inevitable that many of you will have clients that have dementia.
Dementia comes in various forms and levels and some variations are milder than others. WillSuite is here to help you support your clients with dementia and other conditions and ensure they are in the best position possible to write a Will.
There are steps you can take to make the process more accessible to those clients with Dementia and other health conditions.

We ask specific questions that aim to increase client satisfaction and comfortability for the client and make sure that they receive the best experience possible when creating a Will with you. Here are some of the questions that are asked within our questionnaires:
