Make a Will Month
September 2023
Three simple steps to help ‘Give back to the future’
The Make a Will scheme gives people over the age of 18 access to independent, expert advice on how to make a basic will – or update an existing one.
The solicitors in the scheme are giving their time and professional expertise free to you, and ask you to consider making a donation. A St Wilfrid’s receipt will be issued for any donation you make.
-
Contact one of the participating solicitors (names to be confirmed) and book your appointment.
-
Consider who your beneficiaries will be.
