East Cheshire Hospice’s Will Week which is running from 19th-23rd April has the backing of Corrie star, Samia Smith, who plays Maria in the ever popular, long-running soap. She is urging everyone not to put off what so many of us delay again and again – getting a will written.
Local solicitors will not charge their fee for writing standard wills during this special week, but hope that anyone having their will written will make a donation, at their discretion to this wonderful local charity, ideally for around £75 which is what a standard single will would normally cost.
As a key supporter of East Cheshire Hospice, an organisation very close to her heart following the care given there to her father, Samia is promoting what a great idea their Will Week is.
“Having just has my first child, I realize how important it is to ensure that things are in place. It’s just something that everyone should do. This special week makes it even better as it means that one of my favourite charities will benefit,” said Samia.
“Everyone knows that having a Will makes what can be a very difficult time a little easier,” confirmed Major Relationships Manager at the hospice, Fiona Reed, “but so many people put it off again and again. With the help of all these solicitors giving their time free and a little encouragement from Samia we hope everyone who doesn’t have a Will takes this opportunity to get their affairs in order.”
Wilmslow based solicitors participating in Wills Week are: Mark Lever at Greenes Solicitors, Sean Barrow at Jackson, Barrett & Gass, Anthony Penman at Alfred Newton & Co and Laura Stansfield at Laura Stansfield & Co.
