Making and Reviewing Your Will

For nearly 500 years the Church of England has encouraged people to make a will. This is to make sure that your wishes are carried out.  

Reviewing it periodically will enable you to modify your will as your wishes change - for example, as children or grandchildren come into the family, or as your church or favourite charities change.

 

What's on this site?

This website offers a range of resources to help you think about making or reviewing a will, and how this fits into the Christian life. We offer :

  • Resources to help you find out more about making a will
  • A checklist to use before visiting a solicitor
  • Reflections on how the wishes we express in our wills link with decisions we make on Christian giving.
  • Examples of how churches have benefited down the centuries from the generosity of donors who have cared for the future of Christian ministry in their parish.

 - and parish resources too!  We provide materials on wills and legacies for PCC's to consider locally, and a range of magazine articles and leaflets.
