Here at Bonallack & Bishop, we will again be working with the Salisbury branch of Age UK throughout May 2014 to offer anyone who is over 75 years old the chance to have one of our lawyers draw up a will, completely free of charge. Age UK is the country’s largest charity dedicated to helping older people make the most of later life.
Dying without a will, or leaving behind only an out-of-date or invalid will, so often results in huge distress for those who are left behind. Heated disputes about how to share out money and property after losing a loved one are sadly getting more and more common. By offering a free will to anyone who is 75 or over, we hope that we can provide some peace of mind to those in their autumn years. The offer applies to any straightforward will and is a genuinely no strings attached offer with absolutely no conditions.
We are really proud that this will be our 5th “Wills for the Over 75s” promotion. Last year with the help of Age UK, we prepared wills without charge for around 150 local elderly people. We anticipate that this year will see the total of the elderly who we’ve helped with a free will in these promotions rise to well over 500”.
Pippa Webster, the Advice Manager at Salisbury Age UK adds, “ Part of the aim of our Information & Advice department is to give older people the choices and options available to them so that they can make decisions themselves, remain independent and keep control of their lives. This may include preparations for the future such as having a new will drawn or updated.
Pippa added, “We have worked with Bonallack and Bishop for several years now, encouraging older people, to take advantage of the Free Wills for over 75’s offer which may give peace of mind and perhaps one less thing to worry about to an older person. Bonallack and Bishop have always been extremely professional in their approach both to Age UK Salisbury District and to the older person and we are happy to continue with the arrangement.”
Appointments in relation to the free wills offer can either be made at any time in May at our Salisbury or Amesbury offices, at or Age UK’s own premises in Brown Street every Tuesday morning in May between 10am and 12.30pm where one of the law firm’s wills team will be present to see clients. Bookings for appointments in May can be made in advance.
We also offer free storage for Wills and Deeds in our fire-proof vaults.
