What would happen if your local Hospice wasn’t here?

Not necessarily, however we would always recommend using a solicitor, as it ensures your Will is valid and reflects your wishes clearly.

If you have already made a Will, but would like to change it to include a gift to The Shakespeare Hospice, you can update it by writing a codicil.

A codicil is a legally binding document that allows you to make amendments to an existing Will instead of completely re-writing an already written version.

Again, we would recommend speaking to your solicitor about updating your Will.

We understand the importance of caring for your loved ones, so we would strongly encourage you to look after them first in your Will and remember us once your loved ones' needs are met.

Not at all. Many people leave a small percentage of what's left after loved ones are cared for. No matter the size or amount, your gift will contribute to our work.

You are under no obligation to let us know if you have left us a gift. However, if you do choose to, we can thank you accordingly and plan our future services with greater confidence.

If you decide to leave us a legacy, you can be assured that your privacy is respected and any information you share is treated in the strictest confidence. 

Yes, you can. A Will is a very personal document that reflects your final wishes. You're free to change your mind at any time. Just contact your solicitor to make any changes.
