Lucy Cavendish College launches free online will writings service during Lucy Legacy Month.

The College is excited to announce a new partnership with Make A Will Online, providing members and supporters with a free and straightforward way to create a will. Make A Will Online, a member of the Society of Will Writers, facilitates the service,  ensuring that each will is reviewed by a fully-qualified UK solicitor, providing peace of mind.  

Creating a will through this service is simple: 

  1. Visit our Legacy Giving page to get started. 

  1. Answer a series of straightforward questions about your wishes. 

  1. Review your answers before submission. 

  1. Receive your will by email with full instructions on the next steps. 

The costs of this service are fully covered by Lucy Cavendish College, though users can opt to make a donation to help cover the costs at the end of the process. All users of this service will also have free access to Capacity Vault, a secure online service that protects the wishes outlined in your will. 

We hope this service makes it easier for those who wish to remember Lucy Cavendish College in their wills. When you create a will, Make a Will Online tell us about the existence of the will and the details any gift you make to us (including how much is pledged and the types of gifts included). No other information will be shared with us, unless you choose to let us know your name and contact details. Understanding more about the gift you intend to give helps us plan our work, and enables us to invite you to join the Anna Bidder Society, established to celebrate the generosity of all our legacy supporters. 

For more information please visit https://www.lucy.cam.ac.uk/gift-your-will or email Deputy Development Director Tom Hawker-Dawson.

Please note that Lucy Cavendish College is unable to offer legal advice. We strongly encourage anyone with specific legal questions to consult with a professional solicitor.
