Will Aid

For Will MakersFor Will Makers

Help yourself and charity this November

Having your Will written professionally can give you great peace of mind. Use a local solicitor who has signed up to Will Aid and you can enjoy the added feel-good factor of supporting nine leading UK charities.  Instead of paying your solicitor’s fee, you will be invited to make a donation to charity. Suggested minimum donation is £85 for a basic Will, £125 for a pair of basic mirror Wills and £40 for a codicil.

But you will need to hurry because Will Aid solicitors are booking up fast.

Why do I need a Will?

Quite simply, if you do not have a Will you cannot be sure that your loved ones are provided for after your death. You may also leave them the stress of coping with legal complications.

How do I make a Will?

Although it is possible to write a Will by yourself, it is highly advisable to use a solicitor to make sure that your Will is valid and that it properly reflects your wishes.

Leaving a lasting legacy

Of course, when writing your Will, your first consideration is likely to be family and friends. Many people also take the opportunity to give a helping hand to causes close to their heart.

Will Aid worked for me

"I realise that if I’d made my Will myself it wouldn’t have been good enough and I’m glad we did it professionally. The solicitor helped us think through the implications and preparations for our child’s best interests. There are so many things to consider, so having the professional advice was very useful indeed."
