SOLICITORS from across the South-East have partnered with Chailey Heritage Foundation to support the charity’s annual Make A Will Fortnight campaign.

Members of the public can book an appointment any time during the two week period from September 10-21.

Participating solicitors will be waiving their fees for a fixed number of appointments made during that time.

However, individuals are requested to consider a donation to the charity in lieu of payment.

Suggested donation amounts are £75 to add a codicil to an existing will, £120 for a single will and £180 for mirror wills.

A spokesman for Chailey Heritage Foundation said: “According to a 2016 survey, only 37 per cent of the British public have made a will.

“Writing a will doesn’t just give you peace of mind.

“It ensures that your wishes will be respected and also saves your loved ones from added stress when the time comes.

“If you don’t yet have a will, or you need to make changes to your will, this is an opportunity to do so.”

Solicitors include Dean Wilson in Brighton, Adams and Remers in Lewes, Griffith Smith LLP in Hassocks, Griffith Smith Conway in Hove and J E Bennett in Sevenoaks.
