Cancer Research UK's Will-Writing Service

write your will

Use one of our trusted legal partners to write a simple Will and we’ll pick up the bill. We hope that, in return, you’ll choose to leave a gift in your Will to Cancer Research UK, so we can continue to save and improve lives through our research, information and influence. Most people do. In fact, a third of the money we raise to beat cancer is from gifts in Wills.

I will continue to fight cancer until I pass away, so why not continue to fight cancer when I am gone - Jo, Pledger

I really appreciated the simplicity of using the service, so I would recommend it to anyone. You can do the whole Will, not just the charity donation so it’s a win-win. Cancer Research UK were very supportive and answered any questions I had, and my Will-writing solicitor was excellent and very approachable too.
