Free Will-writing offers

Making a Will doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. The Macular Society and our trusted partners are here to help you write your Will for free. So, whether you want to make your Will at a local solicitor’s office, at home or online, we have an offer to suit you.

Free Wills via a local solicitor

National Free Wills Network

Our membership of the National Free Wills Network means we can offer a simple single Will or mirror Wills for free. The Wills are made via a local solicitor chosen from a network of over 800 firms throughout the UK. Once a Will is made, the Macular Society pays a fixed fee to the participating solicitor.

To register your interest, simply complete this registration form and we’ll arrange for your free Will pack to be sent to you, complete with a list of participating local solicitors.

Free Wills with a home visit

The Goodwill Partnership

The Goodwill Partnership offers a free Will service, starting with a home visit to take your instructions. Your Will is then drafted, reviewed by a solicitor, and posted to you for approval, signing, and witnessing. Home visits are available in England and Wales.

To make your Will through Goodwill please contact our gifts in Wills team, or visit the Goodwill website.
