Create a will for free with Dorothy House

Writing your will helps to provide peace of mind that your loved ones, and the causes that matter to you, are taken care of just as you have chosen once you have died.

Below, we have listed the ways you can write your free will.

Online and over the telephone

Farewill is award winning and the largest will writing service in the UK. To start writing your will for free in the comfort of your own home, with specialist checking either online or over the telephone, please follow the ‘complete your online will here’ button and follow the steps provided by Farewill.

Your free will code will be automatically applied when you checkout.

Please read our terms and conditions before applying, as not every will is eligible for the free service.

By using our free will writing service, you are not obligated to leave a gift to Dorothy House. However, we hope you might consider it. A gift of even 1% of your estate will make a difference to us. Currently, one in every five of our patients is taken care of with thanks to gifts left in wills.

With a solicitor

The National Free Wills Network will put you in touch with a local solicitor. There are over 900 solicitors in the UK involved in the Network.

To enquire about writing your will for free with a local solicitor, please get in touch with our Head of Legacies, Sarah Dodd on sarah.dodd@dorothyhouse-hospice.org.uk or call 01225 721480.
