RUHX, the official NHS charity for the Royal United Hospital in Bath, has launched Will Month for September, helping people make or update their Will at a reduced cost.
The charity is working with six local solicitors, with 100% of their fees for professional services being donated directly to support the hospital.
More than 70 per cent of the UK population don’t have an up-to-date Will.
In collaboration with RUH Will Month, solicitor firms across Bath, Somerset and Wiltshire are donating their fees 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 future uncertainties.
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.
With RUH’s Will Month, writing a Will has never been more straightforward. The selection of solicitors will guide participants through the process and ensure their instructions are recorded so those they care about are protected in accordance with their wishes.
The costs for a professional Will writing service are £195 for a standard single Will, or £295 for a standard Joint Will.
Until the end of September, 100% of all the solicitor fees are donated to RUHX so the charity can continue providing care across Bath and beyond.
Participating solicitors include:
- Mogers Drewett
- RWK Goodman
- Ames Kent Solicitors
- Helen Starkie Solicitor
- BLB Solicitors
- Wards Solicitors
