At Union Wills, we believe that every individual should have the opportunity to safeguard their loved ones, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why we are proud to extend our free basic Will writing service to all members of participating UK unions. This initiative aims to provide union members with a simple, yet effective way to ensure their final wishes are respected and their families are looked after.
Writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do to protect those closest to you. It’s not just about financial assets – it’s about making sure your wishes are honoured, whether that involves passing on treasured possessions or appointing guardians for your children. With our free basic Will service, we’re making it easier than ever for union members to take this crucial step, without the worry of legal fees.
Why writing a Will matters
No matter your age or financial situation, having a Will is vital. Without one, the law Will decide how your estate is distributed, which may not align with your personal wishes. A Will ensures that your hard-earned assets, savings, and sentimental items go to the people you care about most. It also allows you to leave a legacy, whether by supporting your loved ones or donating to causes close to your heart.
For union members, this is particularly important. By taking advantage of our free Will service, you can secure your family’s future without incurring any costs. This is our way of giving back to those who have contributed to building a fairer and better working environment for all.
