Help for Elderly to get Wills (UK)

NEARLY four million people – and one in three over-60s – have not made a will.
It means they will have no control over how their estate is split among their family when they die. The distribution will be determined by law and loved ones could be left disappointed.
Rows over wills by celebrities such as top tenor Luciano Pavarotti, highlight the problems if wills are out of date or last wishes are not clear.

And the estates of those who die with no will or family may pass to the Crown, Duchy of Lancaster or even the Duke of Cornwall, Prince Charles.

Now Age Concern’s new Legal Services arm has launched a will-writing service for older people.
A spokesman says: “In the past will-writing services may have been less accessible for older people without a trusted provider catering to their needs. We hope to change this.”


Age Concern offer wills from £85, with any profit going to the charity.


See ageconcern.org.uk, call 0845 685 1076 or visit your local branch of the charity.
