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.

Fleur, is an absolute lady! She made me feel so comfortable and guided me through things that I didn't know I even needed to think of. Would highly recommend.

Saul, who I saw writing my will, was very understanding, explained everything I wasn't sure of, most of it!, and the type of bloke you could speak to in any environment.
Nothing bad to say.
100% satisfaction.
Thank you Saul.
A five star service.

After making my initial contactwith Octopus about my Will the service I have received has been fantastic. They kept me informed of everything that is going on and the video meeting I had with the solicitor was easy to do. I will be recommending Octopus to all my friends to get their Will done too

I paid Octopus Legacy £120 for a Lasting Power of Attorney service on 5 March 2025.
After receiving nothing except my payment receipt, I chased them in July 2025. They requested a missing middle name, which I supplied on 23 July. On 29 July 2025, they confirmed that the amendment had been sent to their legal team and promised that my documents would be reviewed and delivered within 10 working days.
Nothing arrived. I received no update, explanation or further contact.
I chased them again on 25 July 2026, almost a full year after their promised deadline and nearly 17 months after paying. They have now admitted that the service I received was “completely unacceptable”, but their initial response was simply to ask me to trust them again and allow them to finally complete the work.
At the time of writing, I still have no LPA documents, no refund and no explanation of how a paid service could be completely forgotten for an entire year.
An appalling experience, particularly from a company dealing with legal documents of this importance and carrying the Octopus name.
