CYNTHIA Spencer Hospice has launched its Make a Will Month event with the support of five local firms of solicitors. In exchange for a donation to the hospice, the firms are offering free appointments for people looking to create or update a standard* will throughout the month of May.
Borneo Martell Turner Coulston, Franklins Solicitors LLP, Tollers, EMW Law and Wilson Browne have all joined the campaign and will be offering appointments throughout Northamptonshire.
John Helm, Fundraising Manager at Cynthia Spencer Hospice has a message to everyone planning to support the campaign by signing up for a Make a Will pack: “All of the services at the hospice are provided to our patients free of charge. This means that your donation will do directly to paying for the care of local people. There is no obligation to include a gift in your will to Cynthia Spencer if you take part in this scheme, however any such gift you make today could enable us to care for the people of Northamptonshire long into the future.”
Neelam Maher, Partner in Wilson Browne’s private client department, said: “Wilson Browne have supported Cynthia Spencer’s Make a Will campaign for a number of years and we’re proud to be supporting it again this year. It’s our opportunity to support a worthy local cause which serves to make every day count for people in Northamptonshire with life-limiting illnesses and their families.”

* The solicitors will prepare a standard will (90 per cent of wills are standard), however any complex wills, including Inheritance Tax planning or setting up discretionary trusts may not be covered by your donation, so you may need to negotiate a fee with your chosen solicitor for the non-standard part.
