Clinical wills writing & executive
Clinical Will what it will do
Should the unfortunate happen, and you are no longer able to work, what becomes of your clients, your records and your professional obligations? A clinical will sets out exactly how your practice is to be managed should you die or become incapacitated, so that the people who depend on you, your clients, are looked after, and your professional and legal responsibilities are met, without placing that burden on a grieving colleague or family member.
What the service covers
Consider It Handled works with you to prepare a clinical will that addresses every practical aspect of a practice closure, including:
- notifying and referring on your clients
- managing any risk or safeguarding issues that require immediate attention
- handling office lease or premises obligations
- cancelling professional memberships and registrations
- securing and handling practice records and documentation
How it works
Setting up your will. You complete a detailed questionnaire and take part in a consultation, so that your wishes and the specifics of your practice are properly recorded.
Secure storage. Your clinical will is held electronically, with confidential access limited to you and Consider It Handled.
Execution. Should the need arise, a qualified executor carries out your documented wishes on your behalf.
Why this matters now
From 3 November 2026, BACP's new Ethical Framework asks every member to ensure they have a clinical will in place and have appointed an executor who, bound by confidentiality, can contact clients if they are unable to do so themselves, or if they die. Other professional bodies, including UKCP, set similar expectations. Consider It Handled offers an independent, professionally organised way to meet this requirement, without leaving the burden to a colleague or family member who is grieving.
