What is Make a Will Month?

This year our Make a Will Months are taking place throughout May and October. This is where local solicitors kindly waive their usual fee to draw up a basic Will for supporters who include a gift to Dougie Mac in their Will.

Participation in Make a Will Month is on the understanding that you will include a gift in your Will to Dougie Mac e.g. a percentage of your estate or a monetary gift (suggested minimum £500). Your appointment is for a basic Will only. Your solicitor will advise you if your Will is complex and will let you know of any additional charges.

Will-writing appointments are limited (with some available to book from March for May) so please register your details on the form below or call the Wills team on 01782 344308 to receive your information pack and voucher.

What gift will you leave?

Pecuniary Gift

A fixed sum of money. e.g. £1,000.

Residuary Gift

A percentage share of your estate to gift to Dougie Mac. This type of gift is the most valuable because it is inflation proof.

Specific Gift

A particular item in your possession e.g. jewellery, car or house.

    Andy's Legacy...

    Andy’s wife, Jane, was supported by Dougie Mac before she passed away.

    “It’s now over 6 years since I lost Jane. It doesn’t really get any easier for me, but I do get better at dealing with my loss.

    “I dread to think what Jane’s last few weeks would have been like without the support of Dougie Mac. They just made everything easier. I knew I could pick up the phone at any time and they would help us. They also took time to ask how I was – they were caring for Jane, but they always asked if I was OK and that meant a lot.

    “I’ve included a gift in my Will to Dougie Mac, alongside other charities which meant a lot to both of us. Dougie Mac were there for us when we needed them most, and I will forever want to reciprocate them for their priceless help.”
