Thank you for your interest in Free Wills Month
Dorset Wildlife Trust has teamed up with Kitson & Trotman solicitors to provide our supporters with a free will writing service throughout March 2025. This gives you the opportunity to create a simple will or update an existing will for free. Appointments are available at several branch locations including Beaminster, Bridport, Lyme Regis and Weymouth.
PLEASE NOTE
ALL OUR FREE WILL SOLICITOR APPOINTMENTS FOR MARCH 2025 ARE NOW FULL.
If you would like to be added to the waiting list for an appointment, or discuss leaving a gift in your will, please contact Hannah Filer, Fundraising & Development Officer, on 01305 217953.
Further Information
Please note that solicitor appointments are extremely limited this year, with a total of 15 slots available.
Registrations will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority will be given to Dorset Wildlife Trust members. We will try to accommodate your preferred choice. However, it may be necessary for an alternative to be offered to you.
Your appointment will be free provided you want to write a simple individual or mirror will. A ‘simple’ will involves the following: appointment of executors; appointment of guardians for minor children; specific gifts or legacies to friends, family or charities; stipulation of funeral wishes; and distribution of the residue of the estate (i.e. after payment of all funeral expenses and debts to family, friends or charities).
It may be necessary for your solicitor to make a charge for including a trust in a will, if this is desired.
Any additional fees will be defined by your drafting solicitor and discussed with you upfront.
If you have any questions at all, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
