Why do I need a Will?

A Will is one of the most important documents you’ll ever write. It’s the only way to make sure that what you have goes to the people and the causes that you care most about.

It’s how you decide what happens to your money and possessions.

What happens if I don’t leave a Will?

If you do not have a Will or if your Will isn’t valid (e.g. if your Will is not correctly signed or witnessed) your estate is said to be ‘intestate’. This means that your wishes may not be carried out. Having a professionally written, up-to-date Will is the best way to make sure your wishes are carried out.

Our Free Will Service Network to Members (for ‘a simple Will’)

You can use a professional Will-writer or solicitor to write your Will to ensure it is validly written and witnessed.

RLSS UK are delighted to offer our Members an exclusive opportunity to write your Will for Free.   Our Free Will Service is available to any member over the ages of 18 who wants to write or update a ‘simple will’.

We have joined a participating Free Will Service network of 900 law firms and, on average the nearest solicitor is just 3 miles from a supporter to offer members a free Will writing service for simple wills.

Simply email [email protected] and we’ll help to guide you through the process.
