Yes, a charitable donation can be included as part of the will-writing process. Clear guidance is provided to help you add a donation in a way that reflects your wishes.

How can a legacy donation support a charity’s work?

Gifts in wills can play an important role in supporting the causes people care about. They help charities continue their work, support communities, and plan for the future with greater certainty. This type of funding can contribute to ongoing services and longer-term initiatives. For many, leaving a gift is one way to extend their support, contributing to work that continues beyond their lifetime.

What type of gift can I make in my will?
  1. Specific gifts – such as your jewellery, shares or property
  2. Cash – known as ‘pecuniary’ gifts
  3. Residuary gifts – what's left after all debts have been paid and all other legacies have been accounted for.
Completing your document
How long does it take to complete a document?

We suggest you set aside around 1 hour to complete a document, although it can take less or more time, depending on the type of document you're creating and how much information you have to hand.

Do I have to complete my document in a set time period?

No, there isn't a time limit, you are very much in control of when you complete your documents. So you can start, then pause and come back when you are ready. But now you have purchased your documents, we suggest you complete them sooner rather than later.

What happens once I've completed the document?

Once you’ve made your purchase, you can start completing your document whenever it suits you using the easy-to-use online software.

Once you’ve completed your document, you can submit it for review by selecting ‘Send for review’ next to your document. A specialist will then review it and provide any feedback, guidance, or suggested changes if needed.

What happens after I buy my document?

You can start filling it out when you’re ready with our easy to use software.

How will I know if my document is legally binding?

Our specialist paralegals check your document in detail to identify any errors and ensure it meets legal requirements. Once they are 100% satisfied it is correct, and it has been printed, signed, and witnessed properly, it becomes legally binding.

Payments and refunds
How and when do I pay for my document?
