Wills Service

Writing a will may never be at the top of your to-do list, but a will is one of the most important documents you will ever write.

St Catherine’s Hospice is working with a group of local solicitors to help you be prepared when it comes to writing your will.

Our partner solicitors are kindly offering:

  • 15% discount off their individual standard charges for straightforward wills, mirror wills (matching wills for married couples) and LPAs (Lasting Power of Attorney)
  • St Catherine’s Wills Service appointments at their local branches or over the phone

Please note the Wills Service is not appropriate for urgent or emergency wills.

St Catherine’s Quality Charter

All partner solicitors have signed up to the St Catherine’s Quality Charter to promise exceptional service and quality; you can see the charter here.

Booking an appointment 

Appointments can be made at any of our participating solicitors’ branches during their office hours by contacting them directly and mentioning the St Catherine’s Wills Service, or by clicking here and completing an appointment request form. We will send this on your behalf to your chosen solicitor and they will contact you directly within 48 business hours to arrange your appointment.
