The
Will Aid scheme runs for the whole month of November. It's an opportunity for you to have a
professional Will drawn up by a
local solicitor, in return for a
voluntary donation to nine of the
UK's best-loved charities.
Why you need a Will?In a 2011
Will Aid poll, nearly half of all respondents
mistakenly thought their
estate would go to their
partner when they died. In fact, the only way to be absolutely certain that your
money and possessions go to the people you want is by having an
up-to-date Will.
Here's how Will Aid works:
- Solicitors across the UK donate their time to support the Will Aid charities.
- Instead of paying a fee for writing a basic Will, you are invited to make a donation to the Will Aid charities.
- Suggested minimum donations are £40 for a codicil, £85 for a single Will or £125 for a pair of mirror Wills.
- In other words, Will Aid makes your Will more affordable while helping to raise vital funds for charity.
Once you've taken care of your
family, it also gives you an opportunity to think about leaving a
gift to charity in your Will. Any gift you leave to our
Will Aid charities, large or small, can make a
lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable people in the
UK and around the world.
Now all you need to do is
find a solicitor near you.
