In this special edition of the Today’s Wills and Probate podcast host David Opie is joined by WillAid Chair and Head of Legacies at Save the Children, Jonathan Jacques, and Campaign Director Peter de Vena Franks to discuss WillAid month 2022.
For the month of November, WillAid promote the opportunity for consumers to have a their wills written by a WillAid supporting law firm, and in lieu of paying the firm for the service, they instead donate the money to WillAid.
Peter and Jon discuss the background to WillAid and the important role it plays for the 9 member charities, raising over £22m since its inception in 1988. They also discuss how WillAid continues to create more appointments than it can fully service with its existing supporters.
While each appointment is primarily aimed at creating a Will or Mirror Wills for those enquiring, firms have the opportunity to discuss the wider estate planning needs of the client with WillAid keen to highlight the wider benefits to firms who take part by being introduced to a host of new clients with a range of legal needs.
