Our wills and probate team in Devon are members of the National Free Wills Network. This means that we are able to offer free wills in Barnstaple, Bideford, Tiverton, Braunton, South Molton and throughout Devon.
As members of the scheme we have received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Network for raising £2,666,400 of future charitable income.
To participate in the scheme you will need a Free Wills Pack from your chosen charity. There are currently (March 2025) 264 charities belonging to the scheme, including many household names. Member charities include:
- Huntington’s Disease Association
- Help for Heroes
- Marie Curie
- Parkinson’s
- The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
- Alzheimer’s Research
- Great Western Air Ambulance Charity
- Leukaemia UK
- Motor Neurone Disease Association
The pack includes a yellow Confidential Declaration Form that acts as your Free Will voucher. You then present that voucher to us and we will draft your will for free in accordance with your instructions. We will also make sure that the will is properly executed (signed and witnessed) so that it is legally valid.
The gift you make to the charity is at your discretion. Some people make a gift of a specified amount of money, while others leave the charity a percentage share of their estate.
When the will has been finalised we will contact the National Free Wills Network to let them know it has been completed. We will also offer to store your will for you in our strongroom at no charge.
You can make arrangements to see us at our Devon offices situated in Barnstaple, Bideford, South Molton, Tiverton, and Braunton.
