Will Aid 2024: Plan for the Future and Support Life-Changing Charities with us.
As we enter November, Blackwood & Smith are proud to once again join Will Aid—an annual charity campaign offering people across the UK the chance to create or update their Wills with the help of a professional solicitor in exchange for a voluntary donation – for their 2024 fundraising campaign. Will Aid not only offers participants the peace of mind through providing an opportunity for professional estate planning but also offers an impactful opportunity to give back to those in need. Please join us for Will Aid this November to protect your family’s future while supporting charitable causes.
Why having a Will is Essential
Creating a professionally drafted Will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure that your wishes are respected after your death. Without a Will, your estate is distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your personal preferences. Additionally, a Will allows you to make clear provisions for your children, assign guardians, and leave specific instructions for the distribution of your assets.
If you already have a Will a review might be prudent as it is essential to keep it up to date. Major life changes, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or changes in your financial situation, can affect your Will's accuracy. Will Aid offers an affordable and straightforward way to review and update your Will with the support of a trusted and professional Solicitor.
What is Will Aid?
Will Aid is a nationwide initiative in which participating Solicitors, like Blackwood & Smith, waive their usual Will writing fee and volunteer their time and expertise throughout the month of November to offer Will-writing services in exchange for a suggested donation to Will Aid’s chosen charities. Your Will Aid donations are shared among seven UK-based charities, including the British Red Cross, Save the Children, and Age UK, supporting critical humanitarian, health, and community initiatives.
