Free Wills!

[Angel]

I believe it is some kind of national free will month or something to that effect! If this is true is there anyone up here in Caithness that does such a thing and has anyone ever used this service?

Not planning on croaking just yet but...

Angel...

Free will - no chance if that - were all slaves to the machine...

[Kodiak]

Will who? and why does he need to be set free.

I think D W Georgesons do this Angel. I think the idea is that you give a donation to charity instead.

[Liz]

I may be wrong but I think Georgesons have stopped doing this now.

Damn I should have got my act together sooner!

It wasn't really free as you were expected to pay £65 but still a good saving.

I don't really have anything much to leave so would be great if I could just write it out myself but don't think this is acceptable in Scotland.

According to AgeConcern Scotland's leaflet you CAN write your own will, so long as you get someone competent (who is not a beneficiary) to witness and sign it. This is what my Gran has done, rather than use a solicitor.

Yes..I think that is how it works.Did a new will earlier this year at cost!!!

USDAW also do free wills for their members, ask your rep for details.

I think trade unions can provide free wills as part of the membership benefits, certainly Amicus does them.
