Case Studies

"We have the peace of mind of knowing that our affairs are in order and we will be helping some of our favourite causes at the same time."

"When we saw the advert for Free Wills Fortnight in our local newspaper we knew that this could be a perfect opportunity to have our Wills written by a solicitor and to leave something to a number of causes close to our hearts," says Mr. S from Lincoln. Mr. S and his wife are typical of the majority of people who have used the service in the past and obtained so called mirror Wills (Wills for couples) without charge as part of the service.

"We organised a meeting the following week at a nearby firm of solicitors when a very friendly lady ran through some of the things we might like to think about putting in our Wills," continues Mrs. S. "Obviously we made sure that our family were taken care of first and then we decided to leave a share of the residue to a number of causes that we felt deserved our support - causes we hope can help make the world a better place for future generations.

We would thoroughly recommend the scheme and encourage others to have their Wills written by a solicitor to make sure everything will happen as you would wish it to."
