Will For Good is a national free Will scheme funded by more than 150 fantastic charities, ranging from household names to smaller regional charities and local hospices.
More than £1m is pledged to charity every month in Wills made with Bequeathed. These legacy gifts are so important to the work of charities across the UK.
There's no obligation to leave a gift to charity when you make your Will For Good. But in return for helping you make your Will quickly, easily and for free, we do ask you to consider supporting a charity that's close to your heart.
Here's the deal if you want to make your Will For Good
Making your Will ensures the family and friends who are left when you die are taken care of. If you don't have a Will when you die, then you will die intestate and they may miss out.
Under the Bequeathed terms of business, our website helps you gather all the information required and think through the issues it is critical to consider to safely make your Will.
Then, under the terms of the Client Care Letter you will be asked to read and sign if you want us to help you make your Will, our legal team will advise you and draft your Will.
A basic Will from Bequeathed is free. At a minimum, it will adequately meet your needs once you have executed it correctly. Most of our clients complete the process with a free basic Will and can do so confidently because they have received legal advice from us.
If you need or request a more detailed Will, with more sophisticated drafting, there will be a charge. We only recommend or request paid steps when they are, in our professional opinion, of value to your intended beneficiaries.
A summary of what's free and what isn't when you use Bequeathed
You can use our website for free. Our online analysis of your circumstances and wishes, our online advice, and up to 30 minutes of legal advice in a video appointment is free.
We can provide you with a free basic Will where it is at least adequate for your needs.
The Will is not free where complex legal advice or detailed drafting is necessary for us to provide you with a Will that is at least adequate for your needs, or where you accept our recommendation of additional services that would better protect your family and friends.
Examples of situations where a free basic Will may not be suitable
Situations which are common but are not simple to deal with legally include:
Previous or ongoing divorce, or separation, or dissolution of a Civil Partnership
Children from different relationships
Excluding someone from your Will who is financially dependant on you
Fees for dealing properly with issues like this start at just £90.
We may also recommend or request additional steps are taken when there is, for example, valuable joint property, foreign property, multiple properties, a disabled dependant or significant inheritance tax.
Fees for dealing properly with issues like these cost a little more, starting at around £350.
If additional advice is recommended, you will receive a quote and it will be up to you whether you pay for added protection or proceed with the free basic Will.
If additional steps are required because a basic Will would be inadequate, you will receive a quote and you can choose to pay and proceed, or stop there.
