Wills and legacies
Leave a gift in your will to support St Luke’s
Over half of the population do not have a will and of those that do, over 20% of them have never reviewed it. Have you thought about your future? Now is the time to use your will power…
Why make a will?
What people often forget is that making a will is not just about sorting out the financial aspects. A will ensures that your final wishes are clear. Your possessions and property are going to the right place, and the family and children you leave behind are looked after.
Leave a lasting gift in your will
When someone in our local community needs us, we’re there. But only because someone else remembered us in their Will. Without them, we might lose our ability to deliver end of life care to everyone who needs it.
Hospice care is free at the point of use. But, unlike the NHS, it is not fully state funded. The truth is, with rising costs and growing demand for hospice services, these gifts are more important to us than ever. Your Gift ensures that when your neighbor gets that diagnosis, when a local family faces the unthinkable, when someone you know needs dignity and comfort, we’re here.
Not just today, but for generations to come.

Your promise today funds our hospice care tomorrow.
Together, we can make sure that hospice care lives on for all, for now, forever.

FAQs
Does it matter if I forget to inform my next of kin of my will when I die? / How will people know I have written a will when I die?
People should be urged to write their will and tell the trustees or executors that this has been done. They should have confirmed with them that it is ok to use them as trustees or executor. If you are a next of kin (NOK) or a beneficiary you may not sign the will. There is an independent will registry, but this is not something that a solicitor would automatically do, but it can be added to it by the person writing the will.
What is the difference between a solicitor and a financial advisor?
