Make A Will Month

This March our partner solicitors will be donating their time and expertise to help you make or update a simple Will for FREE in return for a donation to The Shakespeare Hospice.

Solicitor Updating a Legal Document

Why do I need a Will?

Making a Will is the most important thing you can do to protect your family’s future.

Whether you are moving house, getting married, starting a family or undergoing any other change in your circumstances, by writing or updating your Will you can rest assured that, should the worst happen, your wishes will be carried out.

According to research over half of UK adults (51%) haven’t made a Will, and nearly a third (30%) of those over 55 do not have a Will.

A Will ensures that your estate is left to the people you choose and not subject to certain rules which dictate how your money, property and possessions should be allocated.

A Will gives peace of mind and protects your family.

 

Did you know?

  • If you have children, you can make provision for their care by naming a guardian in your Will.
  • Unmarried partners and partners who have not registered a civil partnership cannot inherit from each other unless there is a Will in place.
  • A gift to a charity in your Will is free of inheritance tax and can reduce the amount of inheritance tax you pay
  • Leaving just 1% of your estate to a charity in your Will means that you leave behind a lasting legacy while still providing for your loved ones.

Make a Will Month

At The Shakespeare Hospice, we understand that many people are put off by writing a Will because of the costs involved.

That is why, every March and October, we partner with local solicitors who will donate their time and expertise to help you make or update a simple Will for FREE.

All we ask for, in return, is a donation to The Shakespeare Hospice.

Your donation could go a long way in helping provide palliative and end-of-life care to someone in the local community with a life-limiting illness.

FREE Online Will Service

We've also partnered with Make a Will Online so that anyone aged 18 or over can easily write or update a simple Will for FREE. This is paid for by The Shakespeare Hospice, but you are under no obligation to leave us a gift to take advantage of the service. You can choose to donate the cost of making the Will (£40.00 for one or £80.00 for two) to the Hospice when using the service.

Making a Will online is an easy 3-step process and every Will is checked by a fully qualified UK solicitor. Simply answer a straightforward set of questions, review and when you're happy, confirm. You will receive your Will by email or post.
