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.

Jeremy Goodchild was a very nice chap and not pushy that my wife and I liked. He also came across as knowledgeable and we are seriously considering appointing Octopus on the back of Jeremy’s advice pending our benchmarking costs.

Jenna was professional, confident and engaging throughout this appointment.
Provided me with all the information I needed and made the process of writing my 1st Will a positive one.
Disappointing Service, taking far too long
I was very impressed by the service I was given by Jack when he called at my home to start the process of making my Last Will & Testament. Jack took the time to explain the process and after the meeting advised me via email that my information had been passed to the drafting department. Excellent service Jack!
That was on the 5th June 2026 and here we are on the 18th July 2026 and I am still waiting for my amended draft which was promised for the 17th July 2026.
I have contacted the company via telephone on two occasions, the first time to inform of the missing 2 words in the draft and a week later to enquire when could I expect the amended draft.
I was advised on the second call that I should have been advised it would take 10 working days before I would receive the amended draft but I should receive it by the 17th July.
On both calls the representatives answering my call were quite abrupt and due to both of their accents I am convinced the Call Centre is not in the UK. I have no problem with the location, provided I receive the standard of service expected, I feel that I have not, on this occasion received a quality service that deserves recommendation to my friends and others!
I will not use Octopus-Legacy again, not even for the storage of my important documents!
