Make Your Will
1st September - 31st October
What is Make Your Will?
Between 1st September to 31st October, local solicitors are offering you the opportunity to write a new Will, or update a current Will, at no charge. Instead, people will be encouraged to make a donation to Naomi House & Jacksplace in lieu of the usual charges – all the solicitors are donating their time and advice to the hospices. Suggested donation amounts include £130+ for a basic Will or £200+ for a joint or mirror Will.
It’s so important to create a Will, but many of us put it off and delay it. Creating a Will gives you peace of mind, as well as helping you plan for the future.

Why should I write a Will?
Here are just a few reasons why you should make a Will:
- Ensure your loved ones are looked after when you're gone, including guardians for your children
- Leave gifts to friends, family and charity
- Minimise family disputes
- Allows your belongings to go to the right place
- For unmarried couples, Wills are particularly important if you want to leave a legacy to your partner
Your support helps families like Bonnie's
Bonnie was born with severe brain damage and her mum was told to take her baby home and keep her happy. They didn’t expect her to live longer than a month. That was 30 years ago and throughout those years Bev has been tirelessly devoted to Bonnie’s care. Naomi House & Jacksplace has been there to support them and we will join Bonnie and Bev in celebrating her 30th birthday this year.

More Information
- Simply call the solicitor of your choice, between the dates of 1st September and 31st October, to book an initial appointment. The appointment itself doesn’t need to be within those dates.
- At the initial appointment you will explain what you want i.e. what assets you have and who you want to benefit, and the solicitor will tell you if this can be done as a basic or standard Will. The solicitor will then agree with you the donation to be made to Naomi House & Jacksplace. If your Will is not basic of stand e.g. involves tax or other specialised legal advice, the solicitor will tell you and agree the donation before going ahead.
- If what you need requires specialist advice that cannot be included under the scheme, the solicitor will advise you of this and give you a separate price for that work. All participating solicitors reserve the right to charge you a fee if your Will is not basic or standard.
There is no obligation to include Naomi House & Jacksplace in your Will, but if you do choose to leave a gift to the hospices, it would be very much appreciated.
