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.
