Frequently Asked Questions

Larke is an online service which generates a Larke v Nugus response at the time a will is executed. Given the current trend of increasing inheritance disputes, this report will help to protect your wills for the future. The questions and organisational features, including a company dashboard and notification system, are designed to enhance efficiency and value within will-writing services.

Martin Holdsworth is the originator of Larke online as well as the founder of IDR Law, a boutique contentious probate practice based in Harrogate. With nearly 30 years’ experience in the sector, Martin has seen hundreds of Larke v Nugus requests and observed the suboptimal way in which they are currently processed. Determined to find a solution, Martin came up with Larke – a cost-saving, forward-thinking online service for professional will-writers.

Your team manager should simply visit our registration page and input their personal and company information, using the company access code which was sent to them via email. This will automatically register them as the company admin and from here they can invite new team members.

We have designed Larke with the relationship between you and your clients in mind. Therefore, the questions are direct, intuitive and split into three simple stages for ease of use: Stage 1: After the initial instruction meeting (remember to talk with your client about their beneficiaries and those left out of the will during your meeting – you will need this information). Stage 2: After you have drafted your client’s unexecuted will. Stage 3: During the execution meeting with your client (this must be completed with your client but should take no more than one minute).

Larke is not a will-writing service. We have partnered exclusively with Countrywide Tax and Trust Corporation to incorporate Larke into their Will writing software, Legacy. For this service, please visit their website.

Data protection and ensuring that our clients have full control and transparency over the way their data is used and stored on the Larke platform is central to us.

We believe the GDPR is a significant step forward in data privacy and support the GDPR’s emphasis on strong data privacy protections and security principles. We are committed to ensuring that Larke is GDPR compliant and are dedicated to assisting our clients’ GDPR compliance efforts.

The steps we have taken to ensure the Larke platform is GDPR compliant and support GDPR rights include inbuilt features focused on access controls, account and record deletion, security, storage, and audits.

We are continuously evaluating our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy and make any updates when needed.

Larke is designed to be used by professional solicitors and will writers alongside their usual will-drafting functions.

For the majority of cases, answering all three stages takes less than ten minutes – a small sacrifice to ensure your wills are safe and your firm is protected from unforeseen costs in the future when you receive Larke v Nugus requests. Of course, if our software detects a major issue with the will, the questions may take longer in order to give an extra layer of protection to those with a high risk of being challenged.
