At the start of October I took Everseed to its first conference: the APS Legal & Associates national conference at Sketchley Grange in Hinckley, a gathering of will writers and estate planners from across the country.
I was up early to set up the stand, then spent the day between talks, conversations and more coffee than I’d like to admit. It was fascinating to hear from so many different parts of the industry in one room, from case management and probate research to crypto in estate planning.
Will writers sit with families at the moment they’re thinking hardest about what they’ll leave behind. A will records the decisions. A film keeps the person. That’s why I wanted to be there.
Thank you to APS for having me, to my neighbours on the next stand at Circle Case Management for their kindness all day, and to everyone who stopped by to say hello. One conversation that day, with the Institute of Professional Willwriters, has already led to more invitations to speak.
If you’re a will writer or estate planner and you’d like to talk about how a film could sit alongside the work you already do, I’d love to hear from you.
