Participating solicitors draw up wills for their clients without charging their usual fee―instead inviting them to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid at a suggested figure of £100. The funds secured go to nine Will Aid charities, including the NSPCC, Save the Children and the British Red Cross, and more than £21m has been raised since Will Aid’s launch in 1988.
Caroline Hill of Fidler & Pepper Lawyers, said: ‘Since signing up to the scheme we have helped countless amounts of people at home and abroad, while also boosting our portfolio of new clients.’
Solicitors report a significant increase in enquiries about wills since the COVID-19 pandemic began. However, nearly one in two adults in the UK do not have a will.
Will Aid runs from 1-30 November 2021. Find out more at www.willaid.org.uk/solicitors/register
