Cancer is something that touches most of us at some point in our lives. The sobering facts are that every two minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer and more than one in three people in the UK will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
For this reason, we at Sturrock, Armstrong and Thomson are committed to doing our bit to help. We’ve teamed up with Cancer Research UK to take part in their own Free Will Service, which is currently running. This free service is available to anyone over the age of 55 who would like to write a new simple will, or mirror will, or update an existing one. We can also give you advice on how to leave a legacy to Cancer Research UK.
There’s no requirement to leave a donation or gift to Cancer Research UK if you decide to use their Free Will Service; that decision is completely up to you. Most people do choose to leave something to the charity in their will, though, even if it’s just a small amount. Any money left to this vital cause will go towards finding ways to treat, cure and prevent cancer in the future, so if you do decide to leave a donation, you’ll be helping future generations beat this often devastating disease.
If you’d like to find out more about the service, please contact us to arrange a consultation and make sure that you explain you’d like to use our free will service.
We offer a convenient way to update or write your will. All you need to do before you attend your appointment with us is decide on who you’d like to include in your will, and whether you would like to leave anything to Cancer Research UK. If you decide that you would like to leave a gift, you can specify the type of cancer you would prefer the gift to be used for (if you want to) and you can even specify a particular part of the UK you want the donation to be used in.
You’ll also need to download and complete the Free Will Service form, and bring it along to your appointment.
Once you’re happy with the will, we invoice Cancer Research UK on your behalf, so you won’t have to worry about paying anyone and claiming the money back.
