1st of October marked the beginning of Free Wills Month. During the whole month, many solicitors offer free will-writing services.
Law Society of England and Wales president Nick Emmerson said that writing a will “spares your loved ones unnecessary stress and complications”. He continued:
“Free Wills Month offers a valuable opportunity, for those eligible, to put their affairs in order at no cost.
A legally valid will, written with an expert solicitor, ensures that your estate is distributed according to your wishes, especially if you have several beneficiaries or complex financial circumstances. Solicitors provide regulated and insured advice, helping to prevent a whole raft of potential problems affecting loved ones down the line.
As we mark the beginning of Free Wills Month, we applaud solicitors who offer pro bono services. Their dedication brings peace of mind and security to countless people, ensuring that important decisions are made with care and expertise.”
