Still time to write a will during Will Aid month

As we approach the end of November, this will also bring to an end Will Aid for another year. Despite the current Lockdown, our solicitors in Newark and Mansfield have still managed to accommodate taking instructions from clients in a variety of ways from telephone appointments to video calls. Our commitment to giving our time to Will Aid and our dedication to ensuring the people of Newark and Mansfield still have access to making a Will, remains unfaltering in these uncertain times, says solicitor Clare Newton.

Sarah Allen, Head of Wills, Trusts and Probate at Tallents Solicitors in Newark, Mansfield and Southwell, believes that the coronavirus pandemic has starkly reminded us all that no one knows what life holds for them.

Now, more than ever it is vitally important for people to have a valid will and that’s why she and her team at Newark and Mansfield are participating in Will Aid once more.

The will writing team at Tallents are volunteering their time to write basic single and joint (mirror) wills during November, waiving their fees and instead inviting clients to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid instead.

However, when the country is in lockdown and solicitors’ offices are closed to the general public, how do you go about getting your will sorted and ensure it is still valid?
