A will is a way of looking after the people, causes and charities that you care about after you’ve died.
RUHX, the official NHS charity for the hospital, is partnering with eight local solicitors who are providing their professional services free of charge by donating 100% of their fees directly to support the RUH’s work.
More than 70 per cent of the UK population don’t have an up-to-date Will.
The idea of writing a Will is a serious subject and one that requires forward planning.
In collaboration with RUH Will Month, solicitor firms across Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire are donating their fees to the hospital in a bid to raise awareness about the importance of planning for the future.
It is recommended everyone over the age of 18 write a Will to best protect them from the uncertainties of the future.
From losing a loved one to owning a business, having children to becoming unwell, a Will can prove invaluable.
It can also help minimise any inheritance tax potentially payable on your estate, as well as ensure your assets pass to your loved ones.
The reduced fee costs for a professional Will writing service are £195 for a standard single Will, or £295 for standard Joint Will.
Until the end of September, 100% of all solicitor fees are donated to RUHX.
