What is Free Wills Month?

October is Free Wills Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness of how easy and inexpensive it can be to write your will.

Writing a will is something many of us put off. We may feel we don’t have anything of value to leave, or perhaps we don’t want to think so far into the future. For some of us, writing a will seems like a complicated process and we don’t know where to start.

Having an up-to-date will is important, no matter your age or financial situation, to give you and your loved ones peace of mind.

At The Brain Charity, we want to help make the process straightforward for our supporters – that’s why we’ve partnered with professional will writing service Octopus Legacy so you can write your will completely for free.

How can I write my will for free?

With Octopus Legacy you can write your simple will: · Online, using their straightforward form.

• Over the phone with a professional will writer.
• Over a video call with a professional will writer.
• During a face to face will writing appointment or home visit.

All wills written with Octopus Legacy are checked by their team of experts before being sent to you to sign in order to make legally binding.

Support The Brain Charity while writing your will.

“The Brain Charity have helped me more than any other organisation. That’s why I’ve chosen to leave a gift in my will. It was simple and easy to do.” – Simon, who has pledged a gift to The Brain Charity in his will

The Brain Charity has been supporting people in Liverpool living with neurological conditions or who are neurodivergent for 32 years.

After you have made sure your loved ones are taken care of, you may decide to leave a gift to The Brain Charity.

A gift left to charity in your will costs you nothing today but could help keep vital services running in the future.

We hope you will consider including The Brain Charity in your free will, but there is never any obligation to do.
