If, like many other people you have been putting off writing your Will, this is your chance to put that right.
Ware & Kay Solicitors has teamed up with Martin House to give you the opportunity to have your basic Will written for free.
Legacies are vitally important to Martin House. In fact, they make up more than a quarter of our entire voluntary income, meaning the cost of caring for one in four of our children is covered by gifts left in Wills.
Over half of UK adults have not made a Will.
It's not always easy to think about what might happen when we die. But making a Will is an important step to ensuring the people and things you care about are taken care of after you're gone.
Your Will is the perfect opportunity to provide for those important to you and it's an excellent way to make your wishes clear. Having provided for family and friends, please consider including Martin House in your Will. Also, the gift would be tax free, meaning your vital contribution would go even further. Any gift, large or small, makes a difference.
If you already have a Will in place but wish Martin House to benefit in some way, this can easily be added with a Codicil.
There is no obligation to include Martin House in your Will, but if you do choose to leave a gift to the hospice it would be very much appreciated. Your gift will provide comfort, care and support to hundreds of children and young people with a shortened life expectancy, and their families across North, East and West Yorkshire. It will help them make the most of the precious time they have left together, however short that may be.
