Write or update your Will and support Rennie Grove Hospice Care

Throughout February, a selected group of local legal experts are donating their time and legal expertise to write a standard Will in return for a donation to Rennie Grove Hospice Care.

Rennie Grove Hospice Care is a charity providing care and support for adults and children diagnosed with cancer and other life-limiting illness and their families. Every year through our 24/7 Hospice at Home service, our Family Support services andthe range of Day Services at Grove House, St Albans we ?give thousands of patients the choice to ?stay at home, surrounded by their families and friends.

Thanks to local solicitors who have teamed up to support the scheme, it will be a great opportunity to start 2018 by getting your affairs in order while helping local families with your donation.

If you want to have control over what happens to your assets after your death, effective estate planning is essential. It may be an uncomfortable subject to think about but not having a Will can cause problems for your family – often at a very difficult time.

Making a Will makes things that little bit easier for those you leave behind; they’ll be looked after and they can carry out your wishes confident that they are doing what you want. If you die without a Will, your estate will be shared out according to the law instead of your wishes and there is no guarantee that your loved ones will receive what you intended.

Make Your Will Month generates widespread support that helps to raise urgently needed funds for Rennie Grove Hospice Care. To take part, you can simply contact one of the participating solicitors and make an appointment for February, explaining that you would like to support Rennie Grove’s Make Your Will Month. The solicitor you choose will help you plan, write or update your Will and will provide advice so that your family does not pay more inheritance tax than they need to.

As well as getting your own affairs in order and taking care of your family, you’ll be able to safeguard Rennie Grove’s service for future generations. If you are able to consider leaving a gift in your Will to Rennie Grove, this will enable more patients in the future to have the choice to remain at home and receive its specialist services.
