St John’s Hospice will be holding its very first Wills Week in February 2019. This innovative scheme sees a host of local, reputable solicitors waive their Will-writing fee in return for a donation to our charity. In return for a professionally prepared Will your donation will help us fund our specialised care in your community. Making a Will always seems to be on everyone’s ‘to do’ list, well here is your opportunity to finally tick it off that list. If you’re interested in securing an appointment for Wills Week – which runs from 4th-8th February 2019 please call our office on 01524 382538 or email giftsinwills@sjhospice.org.uk to register for a Wills information pack. This will contain useful information as you start preparing to make a Will, a list of our partner solicitors, and details of how to book an appointment.
Keeping an up to date and professionally drafted Will is very important. It helps to secure the future for family and friends and is one of the most important things that everyone, at some point in their life, has to consider. Having a valid Will allows you to provide for your loved ones after you have gone and is a certain way to make sure your wishes will be carried out. It will also ease the burden on those left behind who will handle your affairs. After providing for their loved ones, many people choose to leave a small gift to their favourite charity. By remembering St John’s Hospice in your Will, you can support local families facing life shortening illnesses in your community. Whether it’s a sum of money, a specific item or a share of your property, any gift is very deeply appreciated. There’s no obligation to include a gift to the Hospice and you don’t need to tell us your intentions. If you’d like to remember us, we will be very grateful. Across our local community in North Lancashire, South Lakes and North Yorkshire we have solicitors firms working with us to promote our Wills Week for which we are very grateful. With the St John’s Hospice Wills Week, you can put your mind at rest quickly and inexpensively.
