STEP has today published a statement setting out its ideas for protecting consumers against cowboy will-writers. Its recommendations include proper regulation of the market and that all practitioners should have to prove they are technically competent.  Louise Miller, Solicitor at Mincoffs Solicitors and full STEP member says: "We welcome today's statement from STEP which calls for market regulation.  Clients who use STEP members are always assured of the quality of advice they receive as full members are the most experienced and senior practitioners in the field of trusts and estates."
