Free Wills Month

March 2024 Free Wills Month is here!
We've partnered with Free Wills Month to give our supporters the opportunity to have a simple will written or updated for free.
What is Free Wills Month?
Free Wills Month takes place in March and October. From 1 – 31 March, Age UK supporters who are 55 or over can have a simple will written or updated free of charge by a participating solicitor.
If you choose to write your will through Free Wills Month we hope you'll consider leaving a gift in your will to Age UK Derby and Derbyshire, although there's no obligation to do so.
How do I take part?
- Visit the Free Wills Month website and type in your postcode to find out which solicitors are taking part in your local area.
- Book an appointment directly with the solicitor during Free Wills Month.
- Consider leaving a gift in your will to Age UK Derby and Derbyshire.

How can I make the most of Free Wills Month?
- Appointments are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis, so we recommend you book with your chosen solicitor as soon as you can.
- Free Wills Month covers the cost of simple wills. If the will is more complex and needs additional work, the solicitor may ask you to pay the balance yourself.
