Free wills month in Neath

Neath residents can have their will written for free and make a donation to Age Cymru the same time in October.

Local law firm Jennifer Melly Law is running a ‘make a free will month' during October.

The company's Elisabeth Burbage says:

"It's very important to make a will - it means that you're able to decide yourself what'll happen to your money and your belongings when you pass away.

"Making a will can also help avoid disputes between your relatives over how your estate should be divided.

"You'll also have the peace of mind of knowing that you're looking after your loved ones by making sure they're getting what you want them to receive.   

"If you don't make a will, your property and money may not go to the people you intended."

During October, Jennifer Melly Law clients can donate the fee they would normally pay to have their will written to Age Cymru.

Michael Phillips from Age Cymru says:

"Age Cymru is very grateful to Jennifer Melly Law for running its ‘make a free will month' and encouraging its clients to give the fee they'd normally pay to our charity.

"We want to lift as many older people as possible out of poverty and to combat loneliness and isolation amongst Welsh pensioners through our activities.

"This initiative by Jennifer Melly Law will provide a huge boost to our work."

Jennifer Melly Law is based at 45 Alfred Street, Neath, SA11 1EH.
