Everywill, everyone needs a will

September is nearly here and this month has commonly been viewed as 'make-a-will' month.   Why is it important, three great reasons here:  

  1. It’s an essential legal document that all adults should have, ensuring distribution of property and protection of those who are important to you in the event you pass away. 

  2. Peace of mind.  You may not think you own a lot, but you likely have more than you realize, things like your treasures, books, clothes, home, furnishings, vehicles and more. If you don’t have a will, what will happen to what you own, will it get to the right people?  A legal will removes the confusion, potential conflict, and uncertainty at a very difficult time for those you leave behind.

  3. Last but not least, you can create a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime by supporting a charity in an area or topic you are passionate about.    

Anyway, we are delighted to confirm that we have partnered with Everywill, who combine their very important aim of making sure everyone has a will to make it easy for those they leave behind, with making it simple to support charities working in areas close to the heart.    To write a free, online will go here, there is an opportunity offered to make a bequest to our organisation, but it is not compulsory, you still get the free will. Anything however, no matter how small, would be very much appreciated in our mission to prevent diabetes and its complications.
