The launch of Single Parent Month

National organisation, The Society of Will Writers is launching ‘Single Parent Month’ throughout January 2008. Current research has shown that single parents are one of the least likely groups for not having a Will and The Society are keen to raise this number by the end of 2008 with an initiative that will hopefully see more single parents having a Will written and improving this drastic statistic.

The Society and its participating members are offering single parents throughout the UK a chance to have their Will written at a greatly reduced cost in the hope that this will make them think about their children’s future and ensure that their welfare, should anything happen, is taken care of and that their children would be entrusted to the person that they want them to, instead of upon death, this following the rules of intestacy.

For parents, a Will is the single most important thing you can do for your children to ensure that they are cared for by the people you want if anything should happen to you and to ensure that guardianship and trusts are put in place should you pass away before your child is 18. With members throughout the UK, The Society is on hand to answer any questions people may have about making a Will.

The initiative will commence on 1st January 2008 and will cease on 31st January 2008. Throughout this period, members will be offering to write a single parent’s Will for no more than £35 regardless of circumstances. In this time we hope that the number of people who have made a Will, will have risen considerably and that we will be well on the way to ensuring that everyone throughout the UK has a valid Will.
