A solicitor can help make sure your Will is valid and that your wishes are met. However, you can choose to use a Will writer or online Will provider.  

The cost of writing a Will varies depending on how complicated it is, but ask several solicitors what they charge before making your decision. We also work with Farewill, and the Goodwill Partnership who are generously providing Walking With The Wounded supporters a free Will ​​service.

At the moment, if you leave a gift to Walking With The Wounded in your Will, it’s not included when valuing your estate for Inheritance Tax purposes. The value of your gift is deducted from your estate before Inheritance Tax is applied.

However, Inheritance Tax rules can change so it’s always best to discuss your Will and the type of gift you might like to leave with your solicitor.

If you already have a Will and would like to add a gift to Walking With The Wounded, you can complete a codicil form and store it with your Will. A codicil is read alongside your Will and allows for changes to a Will without it having to be rewritten.

We know circumstances change, and you can amend your Will at any time. We never ask you to tell us whether you have left us a gift in your Will, although we're always very happy to hear from you, so we can say thank you.

There are three types of gift you can leave in your Will:  

1. A share of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid. These gifts are very important to us as they usually increase in value over time. This also means you're less likely to need to amend it in the future. 
2. A specific sum or set amount of money. 
3. A specific item, for example, something valuable such as an antique, painting, property or shares that we would sell.
