Devonalds Solicitors Bridgend are delighted to offer free Wills to clients as part of our partnership with the Cancer Research UK Will Writing Service. Under this service, you can have a standard Will or pair of Wills drafted by one of our Law Society accredited solicitors in Bridgend and across South Wales completely free of charge.
How do I make a Will under the Free Will Scheme?
Call 01656 665022 or email bridgend@devonalds.co.uk to arrange a meeting. You can meet us at our town centre office at 10 Dunraven Place, Bridgend, CF31 1JD, or we can meet you at your home, or via a video call.
One of our friendly Bridgend solicitors will chat with you about your situation and personal wishes before giving you expert advice about your Will. At Devonalds, we’ll ask the right questions and offer the right solutions, whatever your circumstances. You’ll have the option to leave a gift to Cancer Research UK if you wish, but this is completely optional. The gift could be an amount of money, certain possessions, or a share of your estate. We will then quickly draft a professional Will that reflects your wishes and protects your loved ones. Once signed, we can safely store the Will for you free of charge, and provide you with a copy.
Everybody needs a Will, but it is estimated that one in three people die without making a Will. You may have put off making a Will for a variety reasons. Some find the process too daunting, or are worried about the costs involved. With Devonalds, making a Will is quick, stress free and simple, and now thanks to Cancer Research UK, it won’t cost you a penny, so don’t put it off any longer!
The Devonalds Solicitors & Cancer Research UK Partnership
We joined forces with Cancer Research UK in 2022 to help highlight the power of gifts in Wills in saving lives. 1 in 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime and gifts in Wills help fund pioneering research that is saving lives on a global scale.
When making a Will under the CRUK Will-Writing Service, you will have the opportunity to leave a gift to Cancer Research UK if you wish. You will be under no obligation to leave a gift to Cancer Research UK, and if do wish to leave a gift it can be for any amount. Any gift you do choose to include will only be payable on your death.
Since our partnership began, Devonalds clients have pledged a massive £6 MILLION to Cancer Research UK via the Will-Writing service!
Ryan Harris, Legacy Partnership Manager at Cancer Research UK, said: “Since we started working together in 2022, Devonalds have quickly become one of our largest partners for the CRUK Will Writing Service. This phenomenal milestone is a huge accomplishment in such a short period of time & a testament to the brilliant Wills & Probate team and the incredible generosity of their clients! These pledges will allow us to continue planning for, and allocating funds to, future lifesaving research.
To put the scale of its benefit into context with an example nearby, in Cardiff, Professor Awen Gallimore and her team are finding new ways to supercharge the cells in our immune system so they can break through the barriers around cancer cells and destroy them. This research could lead to better treatments for more people with cancer. £386,000 could fund Professor Awen Gallimore’s research, helping the immune system to destroy cancer cells, for one year. £6,000,000 could fund fifteen!”
Joel Evans, Partner at Devonalds said: “Many of us at Devonalds have friends or family who have been affected by this devastating disease, so we are honoured to partner with this fantastic charity. We hope that our clients’ pledges can help Cancer Research UK continue their progress that has already seen survival in the UK double in the last 40 years.”
Gifts in Wills fund over a third of the charity’s life-saving research. Without them, Cancer Research UK would not be able to undertake the vital research that will one day beat cancer for patients in Bridgend and across the UK.
