Your free Will writing service

The best way to write or change a Will is with the help of a solicitor. Getting professional support ensures your Will is written properly and is legally binding. Having a Will in place is the only certain way to ensure your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are taken care of. We’d like to make writing a Will as easy as possible for you. 

Like many charities, Versus Arthritis contributes to a Will writing service so that our supporters can receive a basic Will for free.  This also gives us an opportunity to tell more people about the difference gifts in Wills make to our work. The more Wills that are made through these services, the more gifts are generously left to support people with arthritis.  

When using our service, there is no obligation to leave us a gift in your Will but of course, we hope you choose to.
