Company details
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.

Good honest advice
Good honest advice from James, he was polite, considerate of personal questions and set us at ease.
Never heard back
We had an initial consultation about wills with Jeremy who seemed like a nice chap, but then when we followed up by email the same day we never heard back. We followed up with another 3 emails, including to their customer support email, and they just blanked us. No idea what went wrong. Haven't heard from them in nearly 3 weeks.

Never an easy thing sorting out your will! luckily Octopus Legacy made the whole process easy to follow and reasonably priced
The advisor was charming. But…
The advisor was charming. When I reviewed the draft- he had a) given me 2 incorrect people as executors (one misspelt) b) left my spouse not the marital home in which interview occurred but… my son’s address(!!!) and c) left all my money not to my kids but … my husband’s! Such utter incompetence takes some beating. Have cancelled entire thing and hope I get full refund. Do NOT use this company.

Great thank you
Very professional and helpful
Very professional and helpful, all our questions are queries were answered fully.
It was a great meeting
It was a great meeting, very professional and informative. Everything was explained clearly to us and it’s a credit to the Representative as we had a 2 year old distracting us every 5 minutes.
Great experience
Dan was great! Straight to the point explained different aspects well. Made me feel at ease and answered questions honestly. Kept all jargon out of it and explained different scenarios. I also liked the fact octopus legacy come to you instead of you going to them. Octopus is a well liked brand and they stay competitive by keeping costs down and affordable whilst giving great service.

Great experience and easier than expected
Regina was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to around a sometimes difficult topic. We have felt reassured and well guided through the process.
Very easy very straightforward
The video call was very easy to connect to. My advisor was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
Although I was seeking a simple will and thought I knew exactly what I required my advisor was able to suggest and guide me in my decision making. All in all very pleased.
Excellent estate planning experience!
Very good care and attention during the meeting, everything explained well and clearly, sound advice given but without pressure. Would recommend Octopus for writing a will.
