Will Aid

AboutAbout

Will Aid is an annual fundraising campaign involving nine of the UK’s leading charities. With the support of solicitors who donate their skills, we encourage people to have their Will drawn up by a qualified professional solicitor whilst at the same time supporting charity.  To see Will Aid press releases, please follow this link.

What has Will Aid achieved?

Since 1988, Will Aid has enabled the legal profession to raise over £11 million for good causes. The Will Aid charities all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, so that sum of money will have improved countless lives.  You can find out more about the great work the Will Aid charities do by following this link.

Over those years, Will Aid has encouraged and helped more than 175,000 people to make their Wills.  By writing their Wills, these people may have spared their family the distress of coping with legal complications as well as losing a loved one.

How Will Aid works  

Participating solicitors draw up a basic Will for clients without charging their usual fee.  Instead, they invite their clients to make a donation to Will Aid.  The suggested minimum donation level is £90 for a basic single Will, £135 for basic mirror Wills and £40 for a codicil.  Donations are then shared amongst the nine Will Aid charities to help people in need in the UK and around the world.

Will Aid worked for me

"Will Aid has helped me promote my firm and build relationships with over 90 new clients. Several clients required additional services: more complex Wills, Powers of Attorney or  Trust Deeds. Others recommended me to their friends. Feedback has been very positive and for a new business, this is fantastic."

Will Aid worked for me

"Although we had a Will but it was very old. Our financial situation had changed and the children had grown up so it was time to update it. The solicitor was knowledgeable, approachable, and very easy to talk to. I’d recommend that people get their Will up to date through Will Aid. It puts your mind at rest and charities benefit."
