How can I get my Will written or updated for free?
There are a number of free Will writing services available including:
National Free Wills Network
You can have your Will written or updated for free by a local solicitor through the National Free Wills Network. This service is available throughout the UK. Your chosen charity will pass your name and address to the National Free Wills Network, who will send you a letter containing the details of participating solicitors in your area who can write or update your Will.
