Whilst there's absolutely no obligation, we hope you’ll consider leaving a legacy to the National Trust to help look after our nation’s most beautiful and precious landscapes, for the benefit of everyone.

Free Wills Month

We've partnered with Free Wills Month, which means that during March and October, you can create or amend a simple will for free, if you're 55 or over. Free Wills Month brings together a number of different charities to offer this service to their supporters, and will help you to get in touch with a participating solicitor in select UK locations to draw up a simple will or update one for free. The next Free Wills Month is October 2022 so check back then for more details.
