“Every month can be a Free Wills month” says specialist
An organisation that has helped just under 1900 charities to benefit from charitable gifting through wills is reminding UK adults of any age that they can support their chosen causes whenever they wish.
FreeWills is an online, solicitor-checked service, which allows people to create their own bespoke, fully legal will, for free, from the comfort of their own home.
It is open to people of all ages and offers helpful step by step guidance, allowing most people to complete a free will within 15 minutes.
Founded in 2018 FreeWills was created by serial entrepreneur Carl Christensen and experienced will writer Jenny Chase, two professionals with differing and complementary skills.
Carl explains;
‘Our mission is to provide an easy way for every British adult to make a personalised will, for free.
‘Free Wills month is a fantastic initiative and has done a huge amount of great work, not only in terms of charitable donations generated but also in getting people to engage with what is a traditionally tricky topic to face and crucially, to take action.
‘However, for us at FreeWills, every month is Free Wills Month and we don’t have the age limit that Free Wills Month partners impose, or the monthly deadlines.’
FreeWills is a full member of The Society Of Will Writers and every single Will is checked, vetted and approved by an experienced practising solicitor.
Carl concludes;
‘Over 60% of British adults, a staggering 31 million adults, don’t have a will. We’re trying to change that incredible statistic.
‘We are often asked, quite understandably, why we offer our Free Will service twelve months a year and not just as part of a Free Wills Month promotion and the simple answer is that we genuinely want to help people.
‘Part of that is putting people above profit and using technology as a force for good. We genuinely want to make a positive impact and to help build a better world and we can do that with our unique offering that benefits both our clients and our charities.’
