Derry solicitors participate in Make a Will Month

March is Make a Will Month at Foyle Hospice, a month that helps Foyle Hospice raise funds that support the specialist palliative care services it provides to people living with terminal and life-limiting illnesses.

During the month of March legal firms kindly donate their time and expertise to write/update Wills in return for a suggested donation of £75*.

Making a Will or updating an existing one is easier than you think and it is the only way to ensure your wishes are carried out.

You don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference in people’s lives; whether it’s a share of your estate or a fixed amount of money, your gift could help Foyle Hospice patients and their families at a time when they need it the most. 

This year, Foyle Hospice is partnering up with more firms than ever with participating solicitors from Derry: Babingtons, Clarendon Legal, Dermot Walker & Madden Co, Guckian Flanagan, Kelly & Corr, McCartney & Casey, McKeone O'Dowd.

Foyle Hospice Legacy Fundraiser, Kathleen Bradley explained: “Make a Will Month is an opportunity to help yourself and your loved ones, as well as supporting your local hospice.

“Making a Will is sensible end-of-life planning and can make things that little bit easier for our loved ones after we have died.

“None of us like to think about our own death, but equally we don’t want to leave our families and loved ones having to deal with unnecessary legal and financial matters if we can help it. And we can help it. Take advantage of the Make a Will Month campaign this March and leave things organised for your loved ones.”

There is no obligation or expectation to include Foyle Hospice in your Will, but if you choose to do so, you will be doing something wonderful by making a lasting difference to your community. You will be helping people with terminal and life-limiting illness to live as well as they can for as long as they can.

If your Will is complex there may be an additional fee to pay. Please discuss your requirements with your solicitor when you make your appointment. Before they start the work, they will let you know if there will be any additional costs.
