Free will writing. On the phone, home visit or at a solicitors.
Already booked my home visit & will donate a sum but you do not have to. Its free.
As an Oxfam supporter we want to offer you the chance to write or amend a simple Will free of charge. It's a great opportunity to make your first will, or update your current Will - without having to worry about the cost. You don't have to include Oxfam in your Will to take advantage of this free service but we would love it if you do.

The cost of this is exactly the amount I'm planning on leaving.
Spooky or what?

I think you'd be hard pushed to find another CEO on 120k a year of a company with 5000 employees and £400m income.

WARNING !!!! My friends wife did a Free Charity will as she was dying. The solicitor who drew it up named himself as one of the executors (who knew any different?) she died a year ago and the estate is still not settled and the solicitor has run up £11,000 in legal fees. Fine to do a charity will but think carefully if naming the solicitor as an executor.

Re Storage of will, you can store it with the probate office itself for a one off £20 need to pay again if adding new will or codicil - might be england and wales only though.
There is no chance it will be overlooked as executors will likely need to apply to probate office anyway.

on at least a weekly basis I bang on to my friends about the importance of Wills - not point spending a lifetime bargain hunting if your nearest and dearest can't benefit from it!

October is actually free wills month too though to get one you must be 55 or over.
A number of trade unions also offer free or heavily discounted will-writing as well.
Voted hot. I got a price a couple of weeks ago which I thought was reasonable at £140, but then they wanted another £890 to store it and make any further amendments.

Cannot help with storage but Clickdocks is your friend for amendments/codicils and they DO NOT have to be stored or attached to the will BUT someone/everyone must be aware of there existence.
I am aware that some solicitors automatically write themselves into these 'Free' wills as executors - not a good thing in fact a very bad and expensive thing!

That's a crazy price. Find another solicitor, just did mine for £200 free storage for life if I ever die!

How long before some sad-act decries those who would have the audacity to take something for nothing from a charity and go to great lengths to tell us all how generous they were with their donation?
