Write your free Will
Write (or update) your Will for free and sign it with witnesses.
To make the process as straightforward as possible, we've partnered with a number of Will writing services, so you can write a legally advised simple Will, either in person or online. They will act only in your interests and on your instructions.
Many people who use these services choose to leave a gift to Guide Dogs in their Will, but it’s entirely up to you.
Free Wills Month takes place every March and October, and is a time when many people choose to write their Will. This is a scheme for people 55 or over that connects you with local participating solicitors in selected areas around the UK.
Appointments are allocated on a first come first served basis, so please contact them as soon as possible during the month.
If Free Wills Month isn’t available in your area, please consider our other free Will writing services.
You can write or update your free Will in person with a local solicitor through our partnership with the National Free Wills Network.
Unfortunately, this service isn’t currently available in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

I thought it may be a complicated process, but it was very easy with a choice of local solicitors. I was so impressed with this service that I'd recommend it to anyone.

Solicitors may have different criteria for what qualifies as a simple Will, so it’s always best to speak to them to find out if a simple Will is right for you. If your plans are more complex, they will let you know, and can still offer high-quality legal support, but there may be a fee which they’ll discuss with you before proceeding. A Will is likely to be considered more complex if it includes things like businesses, overseas property, trusts or detailed inheritance tax.
No, there’s no obligation to leave a gift, but many people do. We hope you might consider leaving a legacy, after taking care of any loved ones, to help change so many lives for the better.
Firstly, thank you! These are the details to include in your Will:
The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association
Hillfields
Burghfield Common
Reading
RG7 3YG
A charity registered in England and Wales (209617), Scotland (SC038979) and Isle of Man (1334).
The Free Wills Month scheme is only available for people aged 55 and over (if you are making a mirror Will as a couple, only one of you needs to meet that criteria). Otherwise, you must be at least 18 to make a legally valid Will.
Yes, you can use your own solicitor to draw up your Will, although it may not be free to do so. Simply tell them you want to include a gift to Guide Dogs in your Will and they will arrange it for you.
Not at all. It can be simpler to instruct a solicitor to add an amendment to your existing Will called a codicil. Alternatively, you can update a simple Will through the National Free Wills Network. You can’t currently update an existing Will via our online service.
