About the webinar
Have you put off writing your will?
You’re not alone. Well over half of UK adults (59%) don’t have one – including 45% of people aged 55 and over*. But without a will, your wishes might not be carried out, and loved ones could face extra stress, costs and confusion at an already difficult time.
To help you plan with confidence, join our will-writing webinar. An expert from Octopus Legacy will:
- Show you how to write your will – for free
- Guide you through key choices such as guardians, trusts and Lasting Power of Attorney
- Answer your questions and clear up common worries about the process
You’ll also discover how easy it is to leave a gift to a cause you care about once family and friends are provided for. For some in banking, that means remembering Bank Workers Charity – helping ensure future colleagues and their families have somewhere to turn when life gets tough.
This webinar will run for 45 minutes which includes a Q&A session.
Can’t join us live? Sign up anyway and we’ll send you the recording and extra resources afterwards.
