What is our free Will service?

We offer a free Will writing and review service online or in-person . This allows you to easily write or update a simple Will – and it won’t cost you a penny. You do not have to include a gift to Worldwide Cancer Research, but of course we’d be extremely grateful if you did.

How do you leave a gift in your Will?

To leave a gift in your Will to Worldwide Cancer Research, all you need to provide your solicitor with is:

Name of charity: Worldwide Cancer Research

Registered charity number: SC022918

Address: Third Floor South, 121 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4YN

Please note:
Worldwide Cancer Research was founded as AICR – The Association for International Cancer Research. Our original address was Madras House, South Street, St Andrews, KY16 9EH. It was then 10 Canning Street in Edinburgh. Our current address at Third Floor South, 121 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4YN, is noted above.

Step one
Work out what you own and what you owe

Start by jotting down a list of your assets and their estimated value. Assets like property, shares, savings, and other items of value that you own, including jewellery, cars and antiques. Next, consider what you owe. This may include your mortgage, loans or bills. Take what you owe away from your assets and this will give you an idea of the value of your estate.
Step two
Decide who you would like to benefit

Think about the loved ones you may wish to remember in your Will, before considering the causes you care about. Then decide how you would like to divide your estate.
Step three
Choose executors

Most people choose trusted family members, friends or their solicitor to be their executor and ensure that their wishes are carried out.
Step four
Meet a solicitor

Once you have decided what your wishes are, contact a solicitor to get your Will written. We can also put you in touch with a local or online solicitor through our Free Will Service.
