Make a Free Will
We are pleased to offer a free will writing service for our Railway Family, both past and present. Thanks to the kind support of Railpen, this opportunity is available to all current and retired railway workers and their loved ones.
While the service is free, we invite you to consider supporting our charity with a donation now or a gift pledged in your will. Your generosity will help us continue to offer help to those who need us most for years to come.
We’ve partnered with online will writing experts, MyIntent, to make it simple to write a good will. To ensure peace of mind, you have the option of a free legal appointment to discuss your wishes and finalise your will.
Thanks to Railpen for kindly supporting Will Month.
Why is making a will so important?
Writing a will is the only way to ensure your final wishes are fulfilled. It is a chance to remember people and causes you care about in life. A clearly written will also avoids unnecessary confusion and stress for loved ones at an already difficult time.
If you die without making a will, your estate will be divided based on laws out of your control and your wishes may not be carried out. But if you have an up-to-date will, you are in control of what happens when you are no longer here.
While you’re making your will, it’s a good time to let your pension scheme know who you’d like your pension benefits to go to if you die. Your will won’t cover this.
How to use our service?
Make your free basic will in five simple steps:
- Decide if you would like to donate a small amount now or leave a larger amount in your will.
- Complete the online will interview, with support and guidance available throughout the process.
- Receive automated online legal advice from MyIntent.
- Book a legal appointment to discuss the advice in more detail. Or, if a free basic will is suitable for you, choose the convenience of receiving it without an appointment.
- Receive your will with a Letter of Advice summarising the advice you’ve been given, along with instructions on signing and witnessing your will correctly.
*If for any reason you are unable to access the internet or need support to complete your free will, please get in touch with us on 0345 241 2885 or email us.
