Hi, I'm a primary school teacher who has spent the last few years at home with my two children. I'm at that stage of re-evaluation that I think a lot of us reach when trying to find a balance between our home and working lives.
After a recent discussion with a friend I have been seriously thinking about becoming a will writer. I believe that lots of my skills from my teaching career are transferable and a good foundation to training in this area. Before I invest time and money in training I would love to hear from anyone who does or knows someone who does this as to whether my ideas about this as a potential career are realistic.
Is it possible to get work in this area, once trained, without previous law experience or do most people look for will writers who have spent their career in this field ?
Could I work for myself straight away or would I need to spend time and gain experience first working for a company ?
I know this is a somewhat unregulated area, which has led to a lot of competition. How difficult would it be for me to find work ? I'm prepared to work hard, could I earn a salary to match what I could earn teaching ?
If you have any helpful insights I would love to hear from you.
