Free Will Scheme
My husband and I opted to update our wills through the Free Wills Service. McCarthy Bennett Holland Solicitors contacted us after we submitted an application through our chosen charity, Wigan and Leigh Hospice. The legal process was explained fully by Rowena Foat and all of our questions answered. There was no charge. We gave a voluntary donation to Wigan and Leigh Hospice instead. Thank you MBH for a fantastic service!
