# Become An Estate Planner

> Free will-writing & estate planning training (UK), plus an optional coached business-launch programme. Built and run by working estate planners — Alex Stansbury and Michael Hole — through Project Will Ltd.

We teach the legal training (wills, LPAs, trusts, drafting in WILLO software) for free. Then, if students decide they want to build a business and we agree they can, they progress to the coached programme — six stages over four months (plus a free fifth month), paid as you progress, with 1-to-1 calls, role plays, and video demos. WILLO software is included throughout the programme and continues at £99/month afterwards.
