October is Free Wills Month with the Electrical Industries Charity

This October, the Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) is offering a free will-writing service for individuals aged 55 and over, saving you £400.

EIC is encouraging our industry members to take advantage of this free service to ensure their wishes are documented and their loved ones are protected. Whether you’re writing your first will or updating an old one, this free service makes it easier to secure your legacy.

Making a will is one of the most important steps in securing your family’s future, yet over 60% of UK adults do not have one (source: YouGov). Furthermore, in 2015, the Citizens Advice Bureau received nearly 3,750 queries related to complications that arise when someone dies without leaving clear instructions.

A will allows individuals to decide how their assets are distributed, appoint guardians for children, and even provide for pets. It also offers an opportunity to leave a lasting legacy by including a gift to charity. Many charities rely on gifts in wills to fund their work. By pledging a gift to EIC, supporters can help ensure the charity continues to provide critical services – including financial assistance and mental health support – for future generations.
