Free Wills services
Thinking about writing or amending your Will? We can help by putting you in touch with a dedicated service to help you write a simple Will for free.
There are many Will-writing services available, but we work in partnership with Bequeathed and the National Free Wills Network to offer a free simple Will.
If you use these services, you are not required to leave us a gift in your Will. But many of those who use the services choose to do so, and it would mean so much to our blind veterans if you would consider leaving a gift to ensure that help can be there for veterans long into the future.
Find out how to access these services below.
Bequeathed
Bequeathed allows you to make a Will online from the comfort of your home, at a time and pace that suits you. You will be taken through an accessible online questionnaire to draft your Will, and when you’re ready, Bequeathed arrange a free 30-minute appointment with one of their accredited legal partners by phone or video call.

National Free Wills Network
This is a more traditional service that allows you to meet face-to-face or by phone with a solicitor who will help you write a simple Will for free. All you need to do is send us your name and contact details and and we will refer you to the National Free Wills Network. They will then send you a list of participating qualified solicitors in your area. You can then book an appointment with one of these solicitors directly.
If you would like us to refer you to the National Free Wills Network, or if you would like more information, email Alice in our gifts in Wills team or call 020 7616 7923.
Both Bequeathed and the National Free Wills Network will always advise if a simple Will isn’t suitable for your specific needs. They will discuss whether additional paid work is recommended, and you can then choose whether or not to proceed.
'Writing my Will was easy'
We referred blind veteran Simon to the Free Wills Network. They put him in touch with a local solicitor who walked him through what he needed to do step by step.
Simon said: "The whole process was very painless. The solicitor talked me through it, explained any problems and I felt at ease. I wasn’t forced into making any decisions, and everything was explained in full so I understood what the nuances of it meant."
