BONALLACK & BISHOP - SOLICITORS IN SALISBURY AND ANDOVER - PRESS RELEASE

FREE WILLS FOR THE OVER-75s Week
11th-15th May 2009

Andover Solicitors Bonallack & Bishop are pleased to announce that from 11th-15th May, they will be offering anybody over 75 years’ old the chance to have a will drawn up by one of their solicitors at their Andover branch, totally free of charge.

Sally Bearfoot, Wills and Probate Lawyer at the firm, says, ‘It is surprising how many people don’t have a valid will, and don’t appreciate the importance of making one. Dying intestate (i.e. without a will) makes life a lot more complicated for your family, and your estate may not be distributed as you would have wished.’ 

Tim Bishop, senior partner at Bonallack & Bishop, comments, “Arguments about how to distribute money and property after a loved one dies are sadly becoming increasingly common. Having no will, or an invalid or out-of-date will often results in huge distress for those left behind. By offering a free will to anyone aged 75 or over, we hope to provide peace of mind to those in their autumn years."

The promotion follows on from a highly successful similar week at the Salisbury office in January, when over 35 over-75s took advantage of the offer.

Bonallack & Bishop's wills and probate solicitors also offer free Wills and Deeds storage in their fire-proof vaults.

The offer applies to straightforward wills only, and appointments must be made. Please email Sally Bearfoot or call 01264 364433 for more information or to book an appointment.
