When you’re caring for someone else, it’s easy to postpone making a will for yourself. But if you haven’t got round to it yet, or have an out-of-date will, then Will Aid  could help you. 

Will Aid offers a professional Will drawn up by a local solicitor, in return for a voluntary donation to one of nine UK charities.

In a 2012 Will Aid poll, nearly half of all respondents mistakenly thought their estate would go to their partner when they died. Will Aid recommend that in order to be absolutely certain that your money and possessions go to the people you want is by having an up-to-date will.

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 for £40 for a codicil, £90 for a single Will or £135 for a pair of mirror Wills – all proceeds go to charity

Use the Will Aid website to find a solicitor and contact them directly to make your Will Aid appointment. Then use their Will Planner to prepare, and finally write your Will. Find out more at www.willaid.org.uk.
