Dixon Alderton Law to Offer Cancer Research UK’s Free Will Service

November 15, 2018 By ginadixon2018

Supporting Cancer Research UK

Dixon Alderton Law is proud to have joined Cancer Research UK’s Free Will Service.

The Free Will Service helps people aged over 55 to write or update their will free of charge. It also gives guidance for people considering leaving a legacy gift to Cancer Research UK. The service is now being provided at Dixon Alderton Law where trained solicitors will be able to offer support to people living in Leamington Spa plus surrounding areas and assist with drafting a will.

Gina Dixon, Solicitor & Director commented “I am delighted to be part of the Cancer Research UK Free Will Service promoting the important work carried out by Cancer Research UK and providing clients with an efficient, proactive service”.

Cancer Research UK receives no government funding for its research and relies heavily on the generosity of people leaving gifts in their wills. Over a third of its research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer is funded through supporters leaving a legacy to the charity.

Gina Dixon and Cancer Research UK

A legacy gift can be anything someone wishes to leave in their will. Traditionally this is money but it could be anything that has a monetary value like an estate or specific item. Anything that is left to Cancer Research UK can be marked to be ring-fenced for research into a specific cancer type or research within a local area.

Clare Moore, Director of Legacies at Cancer Research UK, explained: “We all reach a stage at some point in our lives where we start to look ahead and consider what will happen to our financial affairs in the future, when we may no longer be around.

“At Cancer Research UK, we work with a number of local solicitors, including Dixon Alderton Law to offer the Free Will Service to anyone aged 55 or over, helping individuals to make an all-important first will or update an existing one.

“One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. The generous gifts left by people in their wills are so important as they help us continue the work that we do to beat cancer sooner. Without the money we receive from gifts, the progress we make through research would be a far slower.

“We are always so grateful to anyone who leaves a gift in their will to Cancer Research UK – legacy gifts help us find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.”

Cancer survival in the UK has doubled since the early 1970s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of that progress. Every step taken by its doctors, nurses and scientists relies on donations from the public and the kindness of supporters who choose to leave a gift in their will.

Cancer Research UK Free Will Service

The Free Will Service has been running successfully for over 20 years across a network of solicitors in the UK. Anyone who wishes to use the service is asked to consider leaving a legacy gift to Cancer Research UK but under no obligation to do so.

Dixon Alderton Law looks forward to offering the Free Will Service to help the people in Leamington Spa and working with Cancer Research UK to help beat cancer sooner.
