KIND-hearted solicitors are giving their time free of charge this month to offer a will writing service.

Lawyers from Forbes, Roebucks, Farleys, Chenery Maher and Watson Ramsbottom will offer the service during East Lancashire Hospice’s ‘Will Week’, from October 21 to 25, in return for a donation to the hospice.

Hospice spokesman Sharon Crymble said: “If you are moving house, having a baby, becoming grandparents, getting married or divorced, making a will can safeguard your family and ensure that, after your death, your wishes are carried out.

“If you haven’t made a will already, this is the perfect time to do it as not only will you be making sure your loved ones are secure, you will also be making a donation to help East Lancashire Hospice continue to care for patients and their families.

For information and to receive a voucher to participate call Sharon on 01254 733410 or email her on Sharon.crymble@eastlancspct.nhs.uk
