The cases can be a mix of wills and /or trusts and require the firm to register and instruct.
Paradigm and Ison Harrison have also announced they will be hosting a workshop in London which will provide members with a range of information and support in order to make the most of the opportunities that exist within the legal services sector.
Paradigm members will continue to be able to access Ison Harrison’s full will-writing service and its fixed-price electronic divorce service.
Also from today Paradigm members will be able to refer their clients to Ison Harrison to take advantage of its Family Trust service.
Homeowners can transfer their house into a life interest trust which protects their property should various unforeseen circumstances put the property at risk in the future, for example, if the homeowner remarries or moves into a nursing home then the property will normally be protected.
Once the house is in trust the owners can live there rent-free having already passed it on to their beneficiaries.
Clients using Ison Harrison’s will-writing service pay £100 plus VAT for a single will and £150 plus VAT for a mirror will, with each introduction the intermediary/adviser earning £40 per will.
Clients can also pay £25 plus VAT for the optional extra of registering their will on the National Will Register.
The law firm also offers free storage on all wills for life and free amendments on wills for the first five years.
Ison Harrison will also review the will of any client to ensure they remain valid and reflect the client’s current wishes.
Bob Hunt, chief executive of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “We are in the process of organising a workshop with Ison Harrison for Paradigm members later in the year which will cover off the range of legal services that advisers can now offer their clients.
“This is a growing income-generating area for firms and we believe this improved partnership offering with Ison Harrison provides our members with the best opportunities in the marketplace.”
Michael Davidson, head of business development (UK) at Ison Harrison, added: “The introduction of Alternative Business Structures, which will allow non-lawyer organisations to provide legal services, is almost upon us and it is vital providers support advisers against the forthcoming retailers who will offer point of sale financial and legal services.
“It is more important now than ever that comprehensive advice shines through from both advisers and top class lawyers ensuring customers are 100% confident and assured.”
