Andrew's story

“I’m in St Mungo’s supported housing now and the next step is to move into my own home, which my recovery worker is helping me with.

I’ve come a long way compared to where I was… I talk to a counsellor every Friday and see my daughter and 18 month old granddaughter. Having my own place will mean they can easily visit.

I’d also like to look into becoming a support worker myself one day – I’ve been through a lot and would like to help others.”

FAQs

Who can use the free will offer?

This offer is open to anyone above the age of 18 who would like to create their will. It may also be used for simple mirror wills and covers property. However, if your estate is complicated you could be charged a fee, so it may be best to enquire when contacting them.

Can I update an existing will using this offer?

It may be easier to make a new will, but you can also update your existing will. Generally, it’s a good idea to review your will every five years, and update it at milestones during your lifetime, such as getting married or having grandchildren. 

Can my partner and I each write a will with the offer?

You can write a joint will together. Or you can write mirror wills, which are wills that are very similar to each other. If you and your partner would like wills that are quite different, you should each claim the offer separately. 

Who pays the cost of my will?

The cost of your simple will or simple mirror will is covered by St Mungo’s. We pay a discounted rate to our free will writing service partner. As there are a limited number of wills we can provide, please register early to avoid disappointment.

Is it compusory to leave a gift to St Mungo's

What should I do after including St Mungo's in my will?

Can St Mungo's act as an executor to my will?
