Writing or amending your Will doesn’t need to be difficult or expensive. At ActionAid Ireland, we offer a Free Will Service for our supporters and their partners.

This is an online service, where you can create a simple Will, free of charge. We are a charity partner of FreeWill Ireland. This online offering will be suitable for many people. For those with more complex circumstances, it is generally recommended to use the services of a solicitor.

Whether you use the service or not, there is no obligation to include a gift to ActionAid in your Will. If you do decide to, however, we would be extremely grateful for this incredible support. By leaving a legacy gift in your Will, you will be ensuring that, together, we can continue our vital work of supporting women and girls to become unstoppable leaders for a fairer world.

Step 4
Complete and save your Will

There are a number of sections and you can review, edit, and save these as you progress.

Print and sign your Will

Once the system has generated your Will (it will be sent to your email), simply print it out and follow the instructions to sign it and have it witnessed.

Step 6
Store your Will safely

There is no charge for a standard Will. A standard Will is suitable for most people.

If you find your Will is more complicated and you want to take legal advice, you can ask FreeWill to refer you to their partner solicitor. Please note that there is a fee for the solicitor. Your Will can be reviewed either in person or via Zoom.
