Two thirds of adults in the UK do not have a valid Will. Perhaps you have not yet got around to writing one, or you wrote one some time ago and your circumstances have since changed. Perhaps you think it is too difficult, or too expensive. Whatever the reason, Paris Steele supports Will Aid’s annual campaign, which raises awareness of the importance of having a Will while helping to make professionally written Wills more accessible.

At Paris Steele, our Wills lawyers are not only highly knowledgeable in this area of law but also take the time to understand your individual needs, and ensure your wishes are properly recorded. Making a Will can also make the administration of your estate quicker and easier for your family, while helping to keep costs down.

Each November, solicitors across Scotland and the UK dedicate their time and expertise to preparing simple Wills for clients who might not otherwise be able to afford them. In return, clients are invited to make a donation to one of Will Aid’s eight partner charities. Suggested donations are £120 for a single Will or £200 for a pair of mirror Wills, offering excellent value while supporting a range of worthwhile causes.

Paris Steele has supported Will Aid since 2006 and has raised over £25,000 for charitable causes ranging from providing humanitarian aid to protecting vulnerable children in the UK. In 2025, we were especially pleased to help almost 100 new clients prepare their Wills and, in the process, raise more than £7,000 for charities.

The 2026 campaign will soon begin. Whether you need a new Will or want to update an existing one because your circumstances have changed, having a valid Will can help ensure your wishes are clearly understood and reduce unnecessary uncertainty for your loved ones in the future.

You can register online in advance at willaid.org.uk. This year’s partner charities include: Crisis, NSPCC, Shelter, SCIAF, Trócaire, Age UK, British Red Cross and Christian Aid.
