Write Your Will For Free and Support the Dougie Mac

Local solicitors have generously agreed to waive their usual fees to draft or amend a basic Will as part of

Dougie Mac’s Make a Will Month this October. Every year, gifts in Wills help Dougie Mac provide specialist care and support to thousands of local people living with life-limiting illnesses, including adults, young adults and children.

Fiona Chater, Head of Legacy and Trust fundraising at Dougie Mac, explains: “Gifts in Wills are a really

important source of income for Dougie Mac and help care for 1 in 6 of the adults, young adults and children we support.

“During our Make a Will month this October, our panel of local solicitors will kindly waive their usual fee to draw up a basic Will for anyone who includes a gift to Dougie Mac in their Will. While writing a Will isn’t the easiest thing to think about, it’s important to make sure your wishes are clear and that you decide what happens to your money, belongings and the people or charities you care about. For anyone looking to draft a new Will or update an existing one, this is the perfect opportunity.”

October’s Make a Will Month follows Dougie Mac’s involvement in a national campaign, led by Hospice UK, to shine a light on the vital role hospice play within their communities and to highlight the extraordinary impact that gifts in Wills can have on the care their provide. Fiona adds: “Leaving a gift to Dougie Mac in your Will can help us bring comfort to families at the toughest of times. These generous gifts fund vital services, from hospice beds to community care, ensuring families receive comfort and dignity when they need it most. Whatever you’re able to leave – whether it’s a fixed sum of

money or a percentage of your estate – we’re incredibly grateful. Without gifts in Wills, we simply couldn’t

plan for the future. Your kindness today secures care for tomorrow - thank you.”
