Major regional legal and wealth management firm Tees Law is to offer Will writing services with waived fees across February 2025 in the launch of ‘Make a Will Month’.
The initiative aims to highlight the importance of estate planning and provides an opportunity to create Wills and support the local community. This step helps participants secure their legacy and honour their wishes.
The only request from Tees is that those taking up the opportunity donate to the firm’s Better Future Fund which is set up to support local communities to a better future by funding local community projects and organisations.
The Better Future Fund offers grants of up to £5,000 for projects that focus on learning and education and/or health and wellbeing, including supporting mental health for young people, children and families.
Peace of mind starts with a plan
Creating a Will is about more than just dividing assets—it’s about providing peace of mind and leaving a legacy for those you care about. Through early planning, you can protect your family members, and even contribute to causes that are meaningful to you.
Why writing a Will is essential
Tees encourages everyone to take this important step toward safeguarding their future. Here are some key benefits of creating a well-structured will:
- Secure your family’s future
Ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes, providing financial security for your loved ones and avoiding potential disputes.
- Minimise tax burdens
Careful estate planning can reduce the tax burden on your family and make the probate process smoother and more efficient.
- Appoint guardians for your children.
A Will allows you to designate trusted guardians for your children, ensuring they are cared for by those you choose, should the need arise.
- Organise your legacy
Including charitable donations in your Will allows you to make a meaningful difference to the causes you care about, extending your positive impact beyond your lifetime.
We’re here to help
Throughout February, Tees is offering will-writing appointments with expert legal advisors under this scheme in return for donating to the Better Future Fund. Wills falling within the Tees ‘essential’ package will qualify, with additional advice outside that package being charged for separately. This offer provides participants professional guidance to craft a Will tailored to their unique circumstances.
“A well-crafted Will is not just a legal document; it is a vital tool that provides clarity, security, and peace of mind. By offering this service during ‘Make a Will Month,’ we hope to help people safeguard their loved ones and ensure their legacy is preserved while helping to support our local communities”. Chris Claxton-Shirley, Senior Associate, Private Client
Whether you’ve been postponing writing your Will or didn’t know where to start, Tees’ initiative makes it easier to take this critical step. Appointments fill up quickly, and availability is limited, so act now to secure your spot and gain the confidence that comes with knowing your wishes will be honoured.
Let February 2025 be when you take control of your legacy and plan for your family’s future.
