CHARITY -minded solicitors are urging people to use their services to write a Will this November and to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid, instead of paying the usual fee.
All the money donated is shared by nine UK charities: ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (N. Ireland). The suggested donation is £95 for a single will and £150 for a pair of mirror wills.

According to the latest Will Aid research, approximately 26 million adults (52 per cent) in the UK do not have a will. In addition, more than 9 million (39 per cent) adults have not updated their will for 10 years or more and they may no longer be fit for purpose.
