    Google Wiil Aid, or Age Concern.

    Some will do a will for free if you leave a donation n your will for charity

    Make sure you leave it a specific cash sum, like £2000 not a percentage like 10% of your estate

    Reason for this is some charities can be PIA, naturally wanting to maximise donation, but holding up sales of property in case a better buyer comes along
