There’s never a bad time to write your Will.
It only takes an hour out of your day, and our Make a Will Fortnight is the perfect time to book in with a local solicitor.
During Make a Will Fortnight, local solicitors have generously donated free appointments, so that you can finally sit down and write or update your Will. We ask that you make a donation to St Wilfrid’s Hospice, where your support will help us to continue making a difference to local lives.
We have put together this Wills planner so that you can prepare for your appointment.
Writing a Will means peace of mind
Hi, my name is Faith and I am a Ward Nurse at St Wilfrid’s Hospice.
I’ve seen first-hand how getting your affairs in order early can have such a positive impact on families and loved ones when you’re under hospice care.
When someone is under hospice care, the last thing you want to be thinking of is what’s going to happen to your house, pets and belongings. This time is for spending with your family and loved ones and making those precious memories.
