Free Wills Month
What is Free Wills Month?
Free Wills Month takes place twice a year in the UK during March and October. Using participating solicitors in the UK, you can have your simple Will written or updated at no cost. Although there is no obligation to do so, we would be very grateful if you could consider leaving a gift in your Will to the RNLI. Any gift, large or small, can protect our lifesavers as they face the full force of the sea to rescue a stranger.
How can I write or update my Will for free outside of Free Wills Month?
The RNLI has a free Will-writing service that is available all year round. So if you're 18 or over you can write or update your simple Will for free with a solicitor near you. As well as face-to-face appointments, you can write your Will for free online or over the phone, but please be aware that some geographical restrictions do apply.
When does Free Wills Month take place?
Free Wills Month takes place twice a year.

Remember, to take advantage of our Free Wills Month promotion, you have to book your appointment during the month. The appointment itself can come later, but it has to be booked before the end of Free Wills Month.
Why should I leave a gift in my Will to the RNLI?
A gift in your Will helps the RNLI to save lives at sea. 6 in 10 lifeboat launches are only possible thanks to gifts in Wills from generous supporters like you. Any gift, large or small, will help provide RNLI lifesavers with the equipment, training and lifeboats they need to save lives.
When you leave a gift in your Will to the RNLI, and once we have received your gift, your name will be added to a legacy lifeboat, alongside the names of others who’ve supported us in this special way. So when the lifeboat crews launch to the rescue, you will be right there alongside them.
Where can I find participating Free Wills Month solicitors near me?
During the month of the campaign, the RNLI will be able to provide you with a list of participating Free Wills Month solicitors near you. All you'll need to do is fill in our online form, and you'll be sent a list of solicitors near you who can help you write or update your simple Will for free as part of Free Wills Month.
