ASK A PROFESSIONAL CGM Solicitors are supporting Cancer Research UK by taking part in their Free Will Scheme. It can seem daunting considering what is to happen to your estate a er you die, but somany people do not to the extent that only around 40% of adults in the England have a will which truly re ects their current situation. We have seen wills which cut out small children and unmarried partners – all down to a person not updating their wills but not at all being what the deceased person would have wanted. Not only can this cause upset at a time you are already grieving, but can also lead to costs in sorting out an estate for which the will was out of date for the deceased’s changing circumstances. CGM Solicitors and Cancer Research UK both recognise the importance of having an up to date will and have partnered up to provide free basic wills to anyone over the age of 18. ere is no obligation to make any charity donation but any gi in your will le to Cancer Research UK is gratefully received. It is good practice to review your will every 3-5 years or when a major event happens such as a family member being born or passing away. You should also consider your inheritance tax position should your nancial situation change as this can sometimes necessitate a change to your will.
