Will Aid – 2025

This November Harland & Co. are proud to be supporting Will Aid.

For the whole of November 2025, we shall volunteer our time in drafting basic Wills for new Will clients who apply through the Will Aid website.

As we need to be able to identify our clients in person, we are offering this service to clients who can attend our offices in York.

Under Will Aid’s scheme, a client can have a basic Will drawn up which typically would include the appointment of a couple of executors, some gifts to a few family members, friends and charities.

You are then encouraged to make a donation through the following link direct to Will Aid – their suggested donation is £120 for a single Will and £200 for a pair of “mirror Wills” if it is for you and your partner.

More complex Wills or other services, such as Lasting Powers of Attorney, Notice of Severance and registration of related entries at the Land Registry will require additional charges not covered by the Will Aid Scheme. If in doubt, ask your solicitor.

Your donations will be split between eight national and international charities:

  • Age (UK)
  • British Red Cross
  • Christian Aid
  • Crisis
  • NSPCC
  • SCIAF
  • Shelter
  • Trocaire
