Write your will for free

HOW IT WORKS

Using the free will-writing offer is simple – just go to our dedicated Make a Will Online portal and answer a straightforward set of questions to write your will from the comfort of your own home. 

You’ll be able to check all your answers before you submit them, and once your will is ready and has been checked by a solicitor, you’ll get it by email, with full instructions on what to do next. And don’t worry - we’ll cover the cost of the service for you. 

When you make a will, Make a Will Online let us know that you’ve used the service as well as the details of any legacy gift you kindly make to English Heritage. Rest assured, we cannot see your full will and no other information will be shared with us. 

You can choose to let us know your name and contact details if you like though which means we get to thank you properly and invite you to our exclusive programme of events for all our Legacy Circle supporters. 

Thank you for thinking of remembering English Heritage in your will. Your support of the charity is vital.

Make a Will in-person

If your estate is above the inheritance tax threshold, if you have complex needs or, if you'd simply prefer to speak with someone face to face, you can find a solicitor near you through the Law Society website. 

When you discuss your gift in will to English Heritage with your solicitor, you’ll need these details: 

Full name: The English Heritage Trust 

Charity number: 1140351 

Registered address: English Heritage, 6th Floor, 100 Wood Street, London, EC2V 7AN 

 

Letting Us Know

We understand that the contents of your will are a private matter. However, should you wish to let us know of your intention to leave a gift to us, we would love to be able to thank you for your kind support. 

To show our appreciation, we invite those who have pledged a gift in their will to our Legacy Circle community. As part of this we invite members along to behind-the-scenes events and share interesting updates from our projects across England. 

Please get in touch with our legacy team to let us know if you’ve included or are thinking of including English Heritage in your will, or to find out more about our Legacy Circle.
