will-aid-logo-solicitorsRaeside Chisholm is showing it cares by participating in Will Aid during November.

We will be offering readers the opportunity to have a simple Will professionally drawn up and we will not be earning a penny.

To raise as much money as possible for Will Aid, we will draw up basic Wills without charge, in the hope that our clients will make a donation to the Will Aid charities.

The suggested donation level is £90 for a single Will, £135 for a pair of Wills or £40 for a codicil to an existing Will. Will Aid is a campaign run by nine of the UK's best known charities: ActionAid, Age UK, British Red Cross, Christian Aid, NSPCC, Save the Children, Sightsavers, SCIAF (Scotland) and Trocaire (N. Ireland).

Making a Will is one of the most thoughtful and important things we can do to protect those we love. Yet it is surprising that fewer than half of people have made one. Most say they simply haven't got around to it and yet it can take years to sort out someone's estate if they die without a Will, leaving their nearest and dearest in great distress.

Will Aid clients also have the opportunity of free Will registration with Certainty, the National Will Register. This means that a Will can be found quickly and easily when it is needed.

Will Aid has raised more £11 million in donations and very much more from gifts in Wills since its launch in 1988. The last campaign in 2011 has raised £2.2 million in donations (including Gift Aid). The money raised is shared by the Will Aid charities and is used to transform the lives of people in the UK and around the world.
