Everything SLS Wills and More Is Building Right Now

At SLS Wills and More, estate planning is about far more than documents. It is about relationships, education, community, creativity and raising standards across England and Wales.

Here is a look at everything SLS Wills and More is currently involved in and why it matters.

A Trusted Network of Referral Partners

One of the strongest foundations of SLS Wills and More is its network of professional referral partners.

Financial advisers, accountants, care professionals and other trusted advisers confidently refer their clients to SLS because they know those clients will be looked after properly. Estate planning is sensitive and personal. It requires technical expertise, but also empathy and clarity.

Trust is built through consistency and experience. With 38 years in the profession, Sara Sheppard has developed a reputation that introducers rely on and clients value.

For families, this means joined up advice. For introducers, it means complete confidence.

31 New Educational Videos

Education sits at the heart of the business.

The team has recently recorded 31 new videos for social media, covering common questions about Wills, Lasting Powers of Attorney, estate planning mistakes, family disputes and what really happens when plans are not in place.

Video allows people to see and hear the person behind the advice. It builds familiarity and trust before someone even makes contact.

Estate planning can feel overwhelming. Breaking it down into short, clear explanations makes it accessible and far less intimidating.

Sara’s Book Is on Its Way

Sara is also currently writing a book, which is now being proofed.

The book draws on her decades of experience and aims to demystify estate planning for ordinary families. It reflects her passion for educating people before problems arise, rather than dealing with the consequences afterwards.

For many readers, this will be their first introduction to how Wills and estate planning truly work in England and Wales. It is another step in positioning SLS Wills and More as a trusted voice in the profession.

Leadership in the Business Community

Sara is heavily involved in the local business community and serves as Chair of the Aylesham Business Network.

Through this role, she supports collaboration between local businesses, encourages growth and helps create opportunities for others. Estate planning does not exist in isolation. Business owners need Wills. Families need protection. Communities benefit from strong leadership.

Her involvement reflects a commitment not just to clients, but to the wider Aylesham community.

Trustee at The Loving Legacies Foundation

Sara also serves as a trustee of The Loving Legacies Foundation.

This role aligns closely with her professional work. Legacy giving, charitable planning and thoughtful estate structures can make a lasting difference beyond immediate family.

Being involved at trustee level demonstrates her belief that estate planning is not simply about passing on assets, but about values, impact and the legacy someone chooses to leave behind.

Estate Planning Through Poetry

In one of the more creative initiatives, Lisa is recording poems to help people understand the importance of estate planning.

Legal language can sometimes feel distant. Poetry brings the emotional side of planning to life. It highlights the consequences of not having a Will and the comfort that proper planning can bring.

It is a powerful reminder that estate planning is about people, relationships and real stories.

National Recognition at The Legal Growth Awards

SLS Wills and More has been shortlisted in three national categories at The Legal Growth Awards.

This recognition reflects innovation, consistency and the strength of the firm’s marketing and communication strategy. While awards are never the sole objective, being acknowledged at a national level reinforces the impact the business is having.

Wuthering Heights and Modern Estate Planning

Most recently, SLS published an article exploring Wuthering Heights and what might have happened if proper estate planning had existed in the world of Heathcliff and Catherine.

By drawing parallels between inheritance disputes in classic literature and modern legal realities in England and Wales, the article makes estate planning engaging and thought provoking.

The emotional fallout in fiction mirrors real issues seen today when intentions are unclear or plans are not formalised.

More Than Just Wills

When you step back, a clear picture emerges.

SLS Wills and More is:

• Building a trusted professional referral network
• Creating consistent educational video content
• Preparing to publish a book
• Leading within the Aylesham business community
• Serving as a trustee for a legacy focused charity
• Communicating creatively through poetry
• Gaining national recognition
• Publishing engaging, educational articles

All of this supports one core purpose: helping families across England and Wales protect what matters most.

Estate planning should be clear, personal and proactive. SLS Wills and More continues to lead that conversation.
