A legacy to the Army Benevolent Fund can improve someone's quality of life; can give hope to a damaged life, it can even save a life. Making a Will doesn't have to be difficult and can help reduce the burden on your family when you die.

Anyone over 18 can write a Will and providing the Will is valid, it allows your money, property and possessions to be distributed according to your wishes, thus ensuring that your assets are managed properly, and by the people you appoint to do so. If your Will is out of date, or badly worded, it could prove to be very costly and traumatic for your loved ones to sort out, at what will already be a difficult time for them. It is important to have your Will properly drawn up and kept up to date. Make life easier for your family and friends: make a Will and let them know the arrangements for your funeral.

A Will ensures that your intentions are honoured after your lifetime. It can help you to protect the people closest to you, and further the causes you care about.

To make a Will, you may wish to use a solicitor. Although we do not recommend any specific solicitors, we can help you to find one in your area, registered with the Law Society.
