Make a Will Month - Write Your Will For Free!

Making a will never seems urgent... until it is. Now's the time to make sure your wishes are respected. 

Two-thirds of UK adults do not have an up-to-date Will. This means that when someone dies, decisions are made by the government and the taxman. It also adds more stress to loved ones at an already difficult time.

Now's the time to change that. September is Make a Will Month, and we've teamed up with local solicitors Seldons and Slee Blackwell, giving you the chance to write your Will for free.

How to claim your free Will-writing appointment

There are a limited number of slots, so book yours now directly with your chosen solicitor:

Our kind partners are offering a simple Will, written completely free of charge. Additions or more complex Wills will incur an extra cost, but this will be explained by them in advance. 

Leaving a gift to North Devon Hospice

When writing your Will, using this free service, there is absolutely no obligation to include a gift to North Devon Hospice. However, if you choose to do so, you'd be making an incredible difference to the lives of local people. 

One-in-four people are cared for thanks to gifts in Wills. That means 25% of local people would not get the care and compassion they need, as they approach the end of life, were it not for generous people remembering the hospice in their Will. 

Use the form below to get our free Will info pack, which gives lots of useful tips and things to consider when writing your Will. It also explains how a gift to North Devon Hospice will make such a profound difference.

Your gift allows us to wrap people up in comforting support from the very beginning. You’ll help us prepare and support families facing the loss of a loved one. You’ll allow patients to be comfortable and pain free when they die.

Your gift will be a light in the dark for families - before, during and after a bereavement, for as long as they need support. 

You’ll be helping care to continue, by leaving a gift in your Will today.

PATIENT STORY

We know we can count on them, whatever happens next. That takes away a lot of the anxiety because the unknown can be overwhelming. The hospice is caring, nurturing, compassionate and empathetic. That makes such a difference to both me and my family.

Once you have taken care of those closest to you, you may choose to leave a gift to the hospice, such as:

  • A specific amount of money
  • A share of your total estate
  • An item of property
  • Stocks and shares
  • Antiques or collectibles
