Will Aid

Will Aid is a special partnership between the legal profession and nine of the UK's best-loved charities.  Every November, participating solicitors waive their fee for writing a basic Will.  Instead, they invite their clients to make a donation to Will Aid.  Each year, thousands of people use the Will Aid scheme.  They not only gain peace of mind by writing their Will, they help fund life-changing charity work at the same time.

How Will Aid works

• If you wish to write a Will through Will Aid, click here to find out which local solicitors are participating.
• You contact your chosen solicitor directly to make an appointment.
• Your solicitor will advise you on what you need to take into consideration and will then draft your Will.
• Your solicitor will waive their usual fee, inviting you to make a donation to the Will Aid charities instead.
• Suggested donations are £90 for a basic single Will or £135 for a pair of basic mirror Wills.
• If your Will is more complex, you and your solicitor can agree a separate fee for the extra work outside of the Will Aid arrangement.
• All the money raised by Will Aid is then divided between the nine Will Aid charities. 

Success stories

Since 1988, Will Aid has raised over £13 million to help transform people’s lives in the UK and around the world.  You can read some of those people’s stories in the Will Aid charities section of this site.  Every donation made is sure to help change lives for the better.
