WHERE there’s a will there’s a way to raise some cash for charity in Worcester.
Specialist legal teams at two of the city’s law firms are throwing their support behind the Worcestershire Community Foundation through a month-long will writing initiative.
Throughout June, solicitors at City firms Bradley Haynes and HCR Law will be offering to write wills at a considerable discount for the public – a scheme aimed at encouraging people to realise the importance of planning for the future, as well as being invited to leave a legacy to local causes.
Experts at the firm will be setting up or amending wills at a reduced rate of £100 for a single will or £150 for a joint document – with those making a will encouraged to leave a donation to the Foundation to support good causes across the county into the future.
Jonathan Chenevix-Trench, chair of Worcestershire Community Foundation said: “The month-long wills campaign in June will give people across Worcestershire the opportunity to have their will professionally prepared by experts at Bradley Haynes Law and HCR Law at a very special rate.
“We hope that some people taking advantage of this service will consider making a donation to the Worcestershire Community Foundation in their will, which will allow us to grant even more funds to groups across the county for years to come.
“Roughly half of adults in the UK do not have a will, meaning they have not made arrangements for the distribution of their assets after their death which can make things very complicated for their loved ones. We want to help encourage people to make provision for their future and think about how they might support Worcestershire’s communities at the same time.”
