SPONSORED: Join Free Wills Month and help charities continue their vital work for generations to come.

13th February 2025

You can make a difference this March  

This March our award-winning, ground-breaking Free Wills Month campaign will be running throughout Scotland, and we would love to have your firm join us. It’s an opportunity to build your Will bank and client base whilst doing something special for charity and there’s a fee paid, to you, for each Will written. 

Even taking 10 or 15 appointments would contribute around £50,000 in future income for the charities taking part and offer valuable promotion for the firm through local newspaper advertising and a listing on the busy Free Wills Month website (200,000 unique visitors during the last campaign).  

Why join Free Wills Month? 

  1. Increased Client Base
  • Participating in the campaign allows solicitors to reach new clients who may not have otherwise sought their services.
  • Many clients who take advantage of Free Wills Month return for paid services later.
  1. Supporting Charitable Causes
  • Free Wills Month is run in partnership with leading charities, encouraging legacy donations to important causes.
  • Solicitors play a crucial role in facilitating these charitable gifts.
  1. Enhancing Professional Reputation
  • Being part of a national campaign highlights a solicitor’s commitment to community service and ethical practice.
  • It builds goodwill and trust with clients and the wider public.
  1. Potential for Additional Legal Work
  • While simple Wills are covered by the campaign, clients may require additional estate planning services, such as trusts or lasting powers of attorney, leading to further business.
  1. Marketing & Exposure
  • Solicitors benefit from Free Wills Month’s advertising and promotional activities, including mentions in your local newspaper and your details will be featured on our website.
  • Increased visibility can lead to long-term client relationships.

Sign up today or contact us for more information:
