Meet Matt Brooks
Matt founded Brooks Wills to provide a more personal and clearly explained approach to will writing and later-life planning.
He graduated from The University of Law in 2021, gaining a commendation in the Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Legal Practice. Although his original intention was to pursue a traditional solicitor training contract, he instead chose to establish his own business and focus on helping individuals and families make important plans for the future.
Matt’s approach is calm, practical and personal. He takes time to understand each client’s circumstances, explain the available options in plain English and make sure they understand what happens next.
Through Brooks Wills, Matt supports clients across Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and wider Dorset.
Brooks Wills is a member of the Institute of Professional Willwriters and the Society of Will Writers.
