Your lasting legacy for Yorkshire's wildlife
Writing a Will is extremely personal - it is a document which guides your lasting impact for the people, things and places you love.
With your help we can make sure nature’s special places are even bigger and better for wildlife and people in the future. We are determined to create landscapes where wildlife can flourish and a gift in your Will can help us to do so much more.
Ways to write your will
Free online Will service
We work with Make A Will Online, and as a supporter of our Trust we are offering you the opportunity to write a simple Will online, free of charge, from the comfort of your own home.
A basic Will can be drafted in as little as 30 minutes and the step-by-step process makes it easy to complete. A qualified solicitor will check your Will and can talk to you on the helpline if you need them.
When your Will is complete, we will receive (anonymous, if you prefer) information on when your will was made and details of any gift – this really helps us plan our budgets.
You don’t have to let us know who you are, but we always appreciate it when people do so we can get in touch to say “thank you” and tell you what we’re up to.
To write your will online please click below and follow the instructions.
Make a will face to face
If you already have a solicitor or if you would rather speak to a solicitor face to face you should do so. Also if you have a large estate above the inheritance tax threshold, or have a complex estate (e.g. trusts or foreign assets) you should also speak with a solicitor.
You can find a local solicitor using the website below.
