Fully legal will for a £10 donation to Children in Need

If you've been meaning to get a will but haven't done it yet, here is a limited time offer that not only helps you but helps a worthwhile cause as well.

Active Wills have agreed to provide their online will for £10 and all of the £10 will go to Children in Need

"The normal price of a single will is £99 and a mirror will is £149, so this is not only great value but helps a great cause. Most of us will not have a Will, if you don't, please take advantage of this fantastic offer and help us raise £1000's for Children in need"

    Thank you, that's the nudge I needed to do something I've been meaning to for quite a while.
  • This sounds very good and great for the charity however you need to be careful, this is what I found when I googled "will reviews" You do need to be cautious. Due to a lack of regulation, anybody can call themselves a will writer as there are no qualifications or training required. You should really check "Institute of Professional Writers" to ensure these type of companies are legitimate.

    Great advice, only the IPW website is useless and only tells you how many search results there are, I've tried two different browsers and neither will tell me what the search results actually are!

  • Fully agree with the above poster. Please be cautious when using 'Will Writer' services. I work in the legal profession and I am currently undertaking my training (which will take 4+ years to complete). These people are not adequately trained and having seen a number of poorly written Wills that cause issues when it comes to dealing with an estate I would strongly advise against this!

    Go and see a local solicitor and you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that making a Will is not as expensive as you might think. Solicitors and Legal Executives don't train for years for nothing. I know as a smaller local firm we charge significantly lower than the bigger firms of solicitors but still provide a professional service.
