Organise Your Will with FG Patton and Air Ambulance NI

We are delighted to be teaming up with Air Ambulance Northern Ireland as part of their 'Organise Your Will' campaign which runs from the 1st March to the 30th April 2021. 

During the campaign, we will be offering a free Will writing service and asking clients to make a donation to the Air Ambulance charity in lieu of payment. Over 70% of people in Northern Ireland do not have a Will which can lead to uncertainty and unnecessary expense for loved ones when they pass away.

A basic Will if simple and easy to make and can take a weight off your mind knowing those closest to you will be provided for in accordance with your wishes. Whilst solicitors writing Wills are considered key workers and we can make an appointment for you at the office, Wills can also be signed at home provided that you have two independent witnesses who must not be beneficiaries of the Will or their spouses.

For more information, please contact us on 028 87724333 or info@fgpatton.co.uk and will we forward you a simple instruction form to fill out to allow us prepare a draft for your approval.

We are acting as a drop off point for donations to the Digg Deep for Kids campaign this Christmas.

Digg Deep for Kids has raised over half a million pounds over the years and bought almost a million pounds worth of essentials for families across Northern Ireland. This year they are raising money to support Save the Children, Cash for kids, and Saint Vincent de Paul.

You can support the campaign by buying a raffle ticket online, making a donation to the Just Giving page or by leaving items to a designated drop-off point such as ours. They are most in need of gifts for babies and teens.

For more information visit https://diggdeepforkids.com/

The final day for donations to be left in to the office is Wednesday the 14th December. We would really appreciate any support for this very worthy campaign which makes a big difference to those in need at Christmas.

How Will Aid works  

As participating solicitors, this October we will draw up a basic Will for you without charging our usual fee. Instead, you are invited to make a voluntary donation to Will Aid. The Will Aid charities all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, so that sum of money will have improved countless lives and by writing your will you may spare your family the distress of coping with legal complications as well as losing a loved one.

What is Will Aid?

Will Aid is an annual fundraising campaign involving nine of the UK’s leading charities. With the support of solicitors who donate their skills, people are encouraged to have their Will drawn up by a professional solicitor whilst at the same time supporting charity.  

What has Will Aid achieved?

Since 1988, Will Aid has enabled the legal profession to raise over £19 million for good causes. The Will Aid charities all work with the most vulnerable people in the UK and around the world, so that sum of money will have improved countless lives. You can find out more about the great work the Will Aid charities do by following this link.

Over those years, Will Aid has encouraged and helped more than 300,000 people to make their Wills. By writing their Wills, these people may have spared their family the distress of coping with legal complications as well as losing a loved one.
