How does it work?

Each year THB Solicitors helps raise money for Will Aid by writing Wills, for free, in exchange for a charitable donation to Will Aid.

Who is eligible?

Anyone! There are no age restrictions to write your Will.

What type of Wills does Will Aid cover?

Will Aid covers a basic Codicil (Will amendment), a basic single Will, or a pair of straightforward joint Wills. If you should require a more ‘in-depth’ Will, then our Solicitors will be able to advise you accordingly of the fees for this.

How much is a donation?

Will Aid suggests a donation of £100 for a single basic Will and £180 for a pair of basic mirror Wills. Donations help support the vital work of Will Aid’s nine partner charities.

What do I need to bring?

You should bring two forms of identification to the appointment, a copy of any previous Will/s and, of course, an idea of your estate assets and details of those that you wish to benefit.

How do I book an appointment?

Please submit your enquiry directly to Will Aid , once you have signed up and the appointments are open, a member of our team will contact you to book your appointment to make your Will. Please be quick though – last year our appointments were fully booked within 48 hours!
