©InfoWill Aid is a special partnership between the legal profession and nine UK charities. Every November, participating solicitors waive their fee for writing a basic will. Instead, they invite their clients to make a donation to Will Aid. Each year, thousands of people use the Will Aid scheme. They not only gain peace of mind by writing their will, they help fund life-changing charity work at the same time.
How Will Aid works
Find out which local solicitors are participating.
- You contact your chosen solicitor directly to make an appointment.
- Your solicitor will advise you on what you need to take into consideration and will then draft your will.
- Your solicitor will waive their usual fee, inviting you to make a donation to the Will Aid charities instead.
- Suggested minimum donations are £40 for a codicil, £85 for a basic single will or £125 for a pair of basic mirror wills.
- If your will is more complex, you and your solicitor can agree a separate fee for the extra work outside of the Will Aid arrangement.
- All the money raised by Will Aid is then divided between the nine Will Aid charities.
How your donation will help the British Red Cross
Donations raised through Will Aid will help to fund our life-saving services in the UK and around the world. You may also wish to consider including a gift to the British Red Cross in your will. Whether large or small, a legacy gift is a wonderful way that you can help to ensure that we will be there, years from now, to care for people in crisis.
