About Us


 

Will Aid has a simple and compelling objective: to encourage everyone to get their affairs in order by drawing up a Will and help nine of the UK's best loved charities at the same time.

During November, solicitors waive their usual fee for drawing up a basic Will and ask their clients to make a donation to Will Aid instead.

The suggested minimum donation is £40 for a codicil, £75 for a single Will, £110 for mirror Wills.

Will Aid is run entirely by a partnership of nine participating charities.

Our success story

Since launch in 1988, Will Aid has raised more than £8m in donations.  This money has been used to make a real and immediate difference to the lives of people in the UK and around the world.

Longer term, the legacies pledged to the nine Will Aid charities will help ensure that their vital work can continue for generations to come. In 2009 alone, over £5m was pledged in legacies. 

Good for clients, good for business


Will Aid generates positive publicity in hundreds of features and interviews across national and regional media. Participating firms raise their profile and show clients old and new that they share their concern for those in need.

Will Aid has already persuaded over 140,000 people into solicitors' offices, many for the first time. Research shows that these clients have above average income; are likely to choose the Will Aid solicitor for their future legal needs and will recommend them to friends. Will Aid can be the first step in building a lasting relationship.  

The Probate Section of the Law Society endorses Will Aid and urges its members to participate.
