Local Solicitors join together to support Frances House during Will Month

Join the Francis House Children’s Hospice Make a Will Month campaign to safeguard your family’s future with a first Will or an updated Will and help support the families of children and young people with life-shortening conditions.

During the month of September, you can have a Will written by Wrigley Claydon Solicitors in Oldham or O’Donnell Solicitors in Uppermill, both firms are partnering in the charity scheme.

Participating legal firms are giving their time free of charge to draw up a simple Will or amend an existing Will in return for a suggested donation of £100 for an individual Will or £175 for a mirror Will for married couples or partners.

The Will Month enables you to get the Will you need for less than you would usually pay for the services of a specialist Will lawyer, and all donations will allow Francis House to provide the very best care to children, young people and their families from across Greater Manchester.

Rachel Damianou, Head of Wills, Probate, Trusts & Powers of Attorney at Wrigley Claydon on Union Street in Oldham said: “Wrigley Claydon are proud to be involved in the Francis House Make a Will Month scheme. Making a Will is really important if you want to ensure you provide for your chosen family, friends or charity rather than the law deciding what happens to your assets when you pass away.

“Making a Will this September not only makes sure your wishes will be followed, but it is also an opportunity to support such a worthwhile charity in these difficult financial times.

“A Will gives peace of mind that you have done everything you can to make things as easy as possible for your loved ones when the time comes.”

Participating solicitors in the scheme include Hargreaves Gilman in Didsbury, O’Donnell in Uppermill, Wrigley Claydon in Oldham and AST Hampsons in Bury.

Jill Waddington of O’Donnell Solicitors in Uppermill are also backing the scheme. Jill said: “No matter your age or size of your estate, we always advise our clients to have a Will in place to ensure it passes in accordance with your wishes and to give you peace of mind, why not support a worthy charity in the process.”

The Francis House ‘Make a Will Month’ scheme runs from September 1 until September 30. For more information about Make a Will Month visit www.francishouse.org.uk/will-month or contact Wrigley Claydon on 0161 624 6811 or O’Donnell Solicitors on 01457 761320.
