FAQs

Why is it important to have a Will?

By having a valid and up to date Will in place, you can ensure that your loved ones are provided for, as well as helping charitable causes close to your heart. 

Who should write my Will?

You should use a solicitor or professional will writing service. This helps to ensure your Will is legally correct and that your wishes are carried out.

What if I already have a will?

No problem, your solicitor can easily update your wishes by adding a codicil to your Will.

Who can leave a gift in their Will?

Anyone! It’s a myth that you must be wealthy to leave a gift to a charity in your Will – nothing could be further from the truth! Even leaving 1% of your estate to St Joseph's Hospice can make a huge impact.

If I have left you a gift, should I tell you?

We encourage people to let us know if they have left us a gift in their Will. Such information is in no way legally binding, and we do not expect you to disclose any financial information. However, knowing about your gift does help us plan for the long-term future of St Joseph's Hospice as well as enabling us to thank you properly and keep you updated with the work of the hospice.
