A WORCESTER solicitors is encouraging people to write their wills for a new hospice campaign.

Mfg Solicitors in Worcester will be offering to write wills as part of St Richard's Hospice's write a will month.

Experts at the firm are offering to write wills at a reduced cost to people at £90 for one will, or £140 for a joint document.

Amanda Piper, a wills and probate specialist within the private client team at Mfg Solicitors, said: “St Richards Hospice’s Write a Will month continues to be hugely popular with people across Worcester and the surrounding area as it gives them the opportunity to have their will professionally prepared for a discounted cost.

“The campaign also helps a local charity and gives people the chance to ensure their possessions are passed on to those closest to them.

“As a firm with strong roots in Worcester we have always been an enthusiastic supporter of the hospice - a charity that does so much for so many patients and families in and around the city. We’re delighted to be involved and hope to see many people visiting throughout February.”

In the past three years the law firm has raised almost £11,000 for St Richard’s Hospice through the annual will-writing drive.

Rachel Jones, St Richard’s Hospice fundraising manager, said: “All our services are free to patients and their families but we depend on donations and legacies from generous supporters to raise the millions of pounds we need every year to provide our services.”

Mfg Solicitors is taking part in St Richard’s Hospice Write a Will month throughout February.
