Midlands Enterprise Awards 2021

37 | Midlands Enterprise Awards 2021 As a member of the Society of Will Writers, Angela Stokes of Angela Jane Will Writing & Estate Planning is thoroughly trained to the highest level within the profession. She is based in Northampton, creating wills and LPAs for clients in Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Rushden, Bedford, Milton Keynes, and the surrounding areas. Angela Jane Will Writing & Estate Planning offers Wills, Trusts, Lasting Power of Attorney, and Court of Protection Applications as well as a very personal service looking after clients and families. Angela has copious amounts of experience regarding elderly and vulnerable clients and has been able to help a variety of people using her specific services, a vast range of personal and professional skills, and knowledge. Angela tells us how her business operates within the industry. “We comply with the Society of Will Writes Code of Ethics to ensure that your Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney are created to give you and your family the protection you deserve. Unlike solicitors, this is our area of expertise, which means that you receive the best advice possible for a reasonable fee.” Angela continues, “Your requirements will be discussed sensitively and confidentially, and consultations can take place in the comfort of your own home. As an affiliate member of the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) we are also sympathetic to the needs of older and more vulnerable clients. Additionally, we are also able to advise on and create Shariah wills that will meet the requirements of the UK’s courts.” For Angela, it isn’t just about her knowledge, education, and services that puts her above the rest in the industry, but her compassion and passion for her profession. “My view is to always look after my client’s needs, going the extra mile, being there when needed.” Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses have been affected, whether that is due to online shops becoming more accessible than ones without a social platform or than Best Will Writing & Estate Planning Company - Northamptonshire businesses that thrive better with the physical presence of customers. For Angela, the impacts of the pandemic have been unavoidable, but she has done all that she can to navigate the challenges it has presented. “I am finding that due to COVID-19, many of the older generation or those who have been shielding have found it difficult and are still very much afraid of mixing with others or even going outside of their homes. “Keeping clients safe is of the utmost importance in these difficult times, and although things are appearing to ease and move in the right direction, we have a long way to go before we get back to any sort of normality or into a new normality. Until then, we have put additional measures in place for when we do get to see clients on a face-to- face basis. Keeping our clients and members of staff safe and well is my number one priority. During these uncertain times, we understand that many people are staying isolated in their own homes and are avoiding unnecessary visitors to their homes to keep not only themselves safe, but others too. As well as being able to make home visits, we are available to speak to via the phone & zoom and can be contacted also by email and post.” Angela continues, “This business is all about looking after and helping my clients with their needs and the situations that they are in. My business is all about my ethics. I treat people as I hope others will treat me. I think outside the box and come up with solutions in/for difficult situations. My work ensures I have and show empathy towards my clients, making sure I am emotionally and physically available for anyone who needs my service.” Angela’s service has recently won an award for Best Will Writing & Estate Planning Company – Northamptonshire. It is an award well deserved, for not only her dedication to her practice but to her clients, which she looks after in an ethical, respectful, and compassionate way.
