Cleaver Fulton Rankin has launched a free will-writing service with Bequeathed, which will offer everyone across Northern Ireland an opportunity to secure their loved ones’ futures.

Around two thirds of adults in the UK do not have a will, which is why Bequeathed is offering a free will-writing service that is simple and convenient, allowing people to make the right will for them in the way that suits them best.

Bequeathed’s online service offers a simple, step-by-step way to write a will, and if at any time during the process a user needs more detailed legal advice, Bequeathed will be able to put them in touch with local law firm, Cleaver Fulton Rankin, who will offer them a fixed price to complete the will.

With so many people in the UK currently living without a will, many people are unaware of the difference that having a will can make to their loved ones after they die. A well-drafted will is essential for ensuring that you know how your estate will be distributed after your death – it is a tool to make sure that the financial and personal assets accumulated over a lifetime of hard work pass to the family members, friends and causes you have chosen, while minimising any possibility of dispute.

No matter how substantial or modest your estate is or what age you are, due to the current battle against Covid-19 (Coronavirus) it is now more important than ever to get your affairs in order. Bequeathed is the ideal solution to help individuals do this while self-isolating and adhering to social distancing rules.

Michael Graham, Director and Head of Private Client team at Cleaver Fulton Rankin, said, “We are delighted to have exclusively partnered with Bequeathed to offer a free will-writing service in Northern Ireland. Thanks to Bequeathed, we are able to offer people the chance to write their will in a straightforward manner, which makes the process as easy as possible, particularly at this current time.”

In addition to the launch of this partnership, Cleaver Fulton Rankin is pleased to advise that Health & Social Care Trust staff and emergency service workers who start their will online at Bequeathed can avail of a discounted rate to review their will and address more complex issues.

Michael added, “There has been a lot of talk in media about our front line workers and the importance of making a will. Our partnership with Bequeathed enables them to create a basic will online and come to Cleaver Fulton Rankin if further guidance is required. We are here to support our critical workers by helping to ensure peace of mind at this uncertain time.”

Jon Brewer, CEO of Bequeathed, said: “I am pleased to announce our new partnership with Northern Ireland law firm, Cleaver Fulton Rankin.

To be able to provide a free will is a privilege. At Bequeathed we do our absolute best to help every user do a will online for free, but some users will discover their circumstances mean they need or should consider expert legal advice. Our partnership with Cleaver Fulton Rankin now enables us to offer this service in Northern Ireland.  It gives people peace of mind as well as the opportunity to leave a small gift to a charity that makes such a difference in the region.”
