Written by the company
Octopus Legacy, formerly known as Guardian Angel, is the place to plan for death and find support after a loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something much more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes and videos. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone. Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one. Death can come between us, leave mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also connect us. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.

Punctual appointment
Punctual appointment, very knowledgeable person talking me through the process.
A very happy customer!
It was Rijan. He was so helpful, kind and really patient. In the beginning it was for me to make my ‘Will’ then it ended up being David my husband too. Rijan really took the time to listen and made it all simple and easy. I was so impressed with his really good customer service skills. I would be so happy to recommend your business. Rijan is a great asset to your team. I’m really glad I wrote my ‘Will’ with your firm and was served by Rijan. Also I must add Abby, a lovely kind customer service advisor, who took the time to call me and explain about the issues that were being experienced with your phone connection. Two truly wonderful members of your team! Thank you.
God bless

A good first meeting with Octopus Legacy
Dan Wright is a knowledgeable and friendly representative of Octopus Legacy. He listened to the circumstances and requirements that my wife and I have, and then guided us through the various options that are available to us, whilst dealing with any questions that subsequently arose.

My uncle was very happy with the appointment and process of the will.
My wishes were adhered to
Geri talked and listened to my needs. She offered suggestions and advice on certain issues but wasn’t pushy. I didn’t feel pressurised at all.
Painfully slow
Painfully slow. After our conversation with Lewis and the follow-up email (we had to chase for this) he said the Will would be released. Weeks later, and chasing regularly with no response, we are still waiting for the Will. Today promised it will be sent. Not sent because they needed extra id. The issue I have is that my mother paid for a service, I would have expected proactive emails letting us know what was required.
Excellent comprehensible, professional and friendly Will making.
Tim explained everything comprehensively, helpfully answered all my questions and generally went above and beyond to clarify the process and - dare I say it – made it an interesting and enjoyable experience.

A wonderful experience ...
The Octopus Legacy representative who came to us and helped us with our decisions for the future, plus our LPA's was extremely knowledgeable and helped us understand what we could and shouldn't do. The young lady was very easy to understand and made a difficult job so much better for us. We would strongly recommend this company for anyone who has difficulty understanding drawing up an up to date Will, an LPA etc, as it is a relief this is all now done! Thank you very much Jenna Collins for the time she spent with us and for her very helpful attitude throughout.
