Free
Wills Month brings together household name UK charities to offer
members of the public aged 55 and over the opportunity to have their Wills
written or updated free of charge by using the services of local solicitors
in specific locations.
The charities behind each scheme have come together to encourage individuals
and couples in the relevant age category to have a will written by a local
solicitor.
WHITE & CO are pleased to announce that Free Wills
Month is coming to Southend in October 2009 and we are
taking part.
Most UK charities depend on legacies for up to half their income - by
taking part in a Free Wills Month scheme you could help one or more worthy
causes.
Members of the public aged 55 can contact us now, or during October to
request an appointment. In the case of couples making 'mirror' Wills,
it is sufficient that one has reached the age of 55.
We will help to draw up a basic Will that accurately reflects the wishes
of the individual or couple.
Those taking up the offer are under no obligation to leave a gift to one
of the Free Wills Month charities, however, the charities do hope that
many will see this as a chance to help their favourite cause.
Having drawn up a Will we will ask for a confidential declaration form
to be completed which asks questions such as where you heard of the scheme,
your ages and whether or not you have left a gift to one or more of the
Free Wills Month charities which will then be forwarded to the Free Wills
Month organisation.
The charities do not get a copy of your Will.
Most Wills are straightforward, but if a Will turns out to be complex
we will inform you at the initial appointment whether we can assist you
under the scheme or whether there would be any additional charges. You
can then decide whether you wish to proceed with your Will.
