St Raphael's Hospice
The 2009 Make Your WILL Fortnight has provisionally been set for 11th to 22nd May 2009
24 local solicitors have agreed to waive their normal fee and write wills free of charge, in return for a donation to local charity St Raphael's Hospice.
For 2008 Make Your Will Fortnight is 12th to 23rd May
All you have to do is contact any one of the 24 solicitors listed BETWEEN Monday 12th May and Friday 23rd May 2008 - quote "MAKE YOUR WILL FORTNIGHT FOR ST RAPHAEL'S HOSPICE", you can then book an appointment to go and see the solicitor at your mutual convenience - it may or may not be in that fortnight depending on the solicitors schedule.
At your initial meeting with your chosen solicitor, you outline your circumstances to the solicitor, say what you want in your will etc., and the solicitor will advise on making a will. If you agree to go ahead, the solicitor will then ask you for a donation to St Raphael's Hospice, instead of paying the solicitor their usual will writing fee. The donation is up to you, but for your guidance writing a will can cost between £70 and £120 per person. The donation is made by cheque payable to "St Raphael's Hospice" which the solicitor will send to the charity.
It should be noted that if your circumstances are complicated, or you want some specialised advice (e.g. tax advice) then the solicitor is entitled to tell you that he can't do it under the Make Your Will scheme, and will charge you for specialised advice.
But we have found that the vast majority of people only need a "basic" or "standard" will.
"Mirror" Wills, e.g. two identical wills that are written for husband and wife, count as TWO.
IS THERE ANY OBLIGATION TO LEAVE A GIFT IN YOUR WILL TO ST RAPHAEL'S HOSPICE?
No, there is no obligation at all, but St Raphael's is always grateful to people who remember the hospice in this way. 72% of the hospice annual costs are from donations, charity fundraising and legacies. If you are able to leave any charitable bequest to the charities of your choice that will be much appreciated as all charities need legacy support.
