Free will-writing service
Thank you for thinking of Moorfields Eye Charity while making or updating your will. Writing a will ensures that your wishes for the future are recorded, and that you are able to support the people and causes you care about.
We’re able to offer two options for having a simple will written free of charge – online through Bequeathed, or face to face through The Goodwill Partnership.
Bequeathed
With Bequeathed you can make a start on your Will For Good immediately. Just go online any time that suits you, register and complete the online Will interview. If you need help you can search guidance articles, use online chat or book a support call.
Once the online interview is complete, you’ll receive online legal advice tailored to your circumstances, in the form of recommendations, and sometimes requirements, from Bequeathed’s in-house Solicitor.
You can book a free legal appointment to discuss the recommendations and requrements in more detail, then decide if you’d like to go ahead with a free basic Will or pay for any additional protection discussed.
Or, provided a free basic Will is suitable for your circumstances, you can choose the convenience of having your Will delivered straight to your inbox.
However you choose to complete it, you’ll receive your Will with instructions on signing it correctly in front of witnesses. You’ll also receive a Letter of Advice summarising everything you’ve been told, and setting out what your Will does and doesn’t do.
The Goodwill Partnership
The Goodwill Partnership (TGP) is the largest provider of home-visit solicitor provided wills in England & Wales. There are no visits to the solicitor, TGP’s trained counsellor comes to your home to take will instructions at a time convenient to you, daytime, evening or weekends.
Your will is checked and provided direct to you by a solicitor from a panel of firms. All the solicitors are qualified, practising and regulated by The Law Society.
Please complete your details in the form below, including whether you would like to write your will online or face to face. Someone from Moorfields Eye Charity will then be in touch to offer guidance based on your preferences.
Leaving a gift in your will
There is no obligation to include a gift to Moorfields Eye Charity in your will when using these services, but we would of course be very grateful if you would consider supporting us in this way. A gift of just 1% of your estate would make a real difference.
Gifts in wills are vital to our work supporting Moorfields Eye Hospital and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, and enable us to invest in life changing eye health by funding innovative research, education and care to improve people’s sight.
