Humphries Kirk offered free wills to Dorset Wildlife Trust members

Dorset and Somerset solicitors firm Humphries Kirk offered a free Will writing service to over 25,000 Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT) members.

Throughout October, DWT members were able to contact any of the firm’s eight offices to arrange an appointment, with the option of donating to DWT through a gift in a Will.

Simon Cross, partner at Humphries Kirk, said: “Many people believe that when they die, their assets will automatically pass to their spouse, partner or children. This is not, however, guaranteed. Having a will is the only way to guarantee that your wishes are respected after you have passed away.”

Jodi Hibbard, individual giving officer at DWT, said: “Donations through a gift in a Will play an ever increasing part in how we fund our nature reserves across Dorset, so that those who do decide to use the free Will writing service and leave a gift, no matter how large or small, can take great comfort in knowing their legacy will be helping Dorset’s wildlife for many years to come.”

Humphries Kirk provides legal expertise to private and commercial clients, with offices in Crewkerne, Dorchester, Wareham, Swanage, Poole, Parkstone, Bournemouth and London.
