We’ve partnered with local legal professionals to offer a will-writing service. We really appreciate our partner solicitors support for Hospiscare.
When you have completed your Will, you can donate their usual fee for writing a standard single or joint Will to Hospiscare. Your chosen solicitor will organise this for you.
How does it work?
In an initial meeting with your selected partner, you’ll explain what you would like in your Will and your legal professional will explain the next steps and advise if any additional specialist advice is needed. To prepare for this meeting, we suggest following these steps:
- Create a list of your assets – Assets are anything of value and listing these, along with their estimated value, can save you time and money with your legal professional. Your assets could include property, shares, savings and items of value that you own.
- Create a list of outstanding payments – Considering things like the payments left on your mortgage and on any loans or bills will give you a much better idea of the value of your estate.
- Decide who you will remember in your Will – Create a list of the people and organisations – such as the charities you support – that you wish to remember in your Will. Consider how you would like to divide your estate between them, particularly if there are items of sentimental value that you would like to gift.
- Choose your executors and legal professional – An executor is the person that you choose to carry out the terms of your Will and ensures that your wishes are followed. Most people choose a trusted family member or a legal professional to be their executor.
You’ll also need to provide Hospiscare’s address and our charity number:
- Our address: Hospiscare, Searle House, Dryden Road, Exeter, EX2 5JJ
- Our Registered Charity Number: 297798
How do I donate?
Your legal professional will advise what they would usually charge for making a Will and you can make your donation to Hospiscare by filling out a form from the solicitor, by selecting ‘Will Writing Scheme’ and donating on our website or by sending us a cheque payable to Hospiscare.
We also hold 30-minute clinics where you can get free advice before planning your affairs. Contact us on 01392 688020 for details of upcoming dates.
