A WILL FOR LIFE: Your own FREE will.Byline: Alison Duck Make a will in association with the National Heart Research Fund and the Evening Telegraph Evening Telegraph may refer to:
SEVEN out of 10 people in Britain die without ever making a will. The reason is often not that those seven people had no family or friends but more perhaps that because they simply did not get round to it or did not think it was relevant to them. Is it relevant to you? Many people assume that their spouse spouse A legal marriage partner as defined by state law will automatically inherit To receive property according to the state laws of intestate succession from a decedent who has failed to execute a valid will, or, where the term is applied in a more general sense, to receive the property of a decedent by will. inherit v. everything upon death - this is not necessarily so. If you and your partner are unmarried then without a will he or she will not automatically receive anything from your estate. Have you ever thought what would happen to your children if you and your spouse were to die together - making a will gives you the opportunity to cover this event and if appropriate appoint a guardian for your children. If you are the only member of your family left then without a will your estate will pass to the government. If you do not make a will then the law will share out your belongings belongings Noun, pl the things that a person owns or has with him or her Noun 1. belongings - something owned; any tangible or intangible possession that is owned by someone; "that hat is my property"; "he is a man of around the family.

NATIONAL HEART RESEARCH FUND National Heart Research Fund has over the last 33 years focused on funding vital heart research projects. Over half the charities income comes from legacies without which their work could not go on. They recently made a grant of pounds 100,000 to Walsgrave Hospital to assist in funding important research. Heart disease is Coventry's and Warwickshire's biggest killer and if future generations are to live in a heart disease-free society then more needs to be invested in heart research. This fact coupled with the need for more people to make wills is why the National Heart Research Fund, the Evening Telegraph and selected local solicitors have got together to give readers the opportunity to make or change their will free of charge (to the value of pounds 100 per person). The average will usually cost around pounds 60. The following solicitors from Coventry, Nuneaton, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Rugby are all taking part in the campaign.
