Why having a will matters – And how you can create one for free

Have you ever thought about what would happen to your loved ones or your belongings if something unexpected were to happen to you? It’s not always easy to think about, but having a will is one of the most important ways to make sure your wishes are known and respected.

A will gives you peace of mind for the future. 

Create your free Will today

Thanks to our partnership with Octopus Legacy, CamSight supporters can now create a free, legally binding basic will online in just 15 minutes. It’s simple, secure, and completely free - no strings attached.

Whether you're updating an old will or writing one for the first time, this is a great opportunity to take that important step for your future and your loved ones.

Is this right for you?

This free service is ideal for straightforward estates, for example, if you’re leaving your assets to a few individuals or charities and your financial situation is relatively simple. However, if your estate is more complex (such as involving trusts, overseas assets, or business ownership), we strongly recommend seeking professional legal advice to ensure your wishes are fully protected.

If this sounds right, clicking the button below will take you to our Octopus Legacy partnership page. You will be able to start the free will writing process, and at the checkout you will be asked to enter our code: 'CAMSIGHTFREE', which waives their will writing fee entirely.  

Free Online Basic Will Writing Service

If you have any questions whilst completing your free online Will, you can call Octopus Legacy's helpline for free on: 020 4525 3605. We also have a downloadable FAQ document from Octopus Legacy in size 14 text available here. 

If you decide you need an in-person or phone Will writing appointment, Octopus Legacy charges from £150, depending on your individual requirements. 

We won't know unless you tell us 

We understand that making a Will is a very personal matter, and Octopus Legacy's will writing service is entirely confidential. If you do intend to make CamSight a beneficiary, or have already done so, we would be grateful to know. As well as helping with future planning, it gives us an opportunity to acknowledge your generosity. Any information you give us will be in the strictest confidence.

If you have any questions about leaving a gift in your Will, please email [email protected] or call us on, 01223 420033.
