Leave a Legacy

By remembering Mercy Ships in your Will, you can help future generations to see, walk or smile for the first time - and even save lives! You could even transform the lives of whole communities through one of our many development projects. Imagine funding a health clinic, safe water supply or a livestock programme for an entire village!

Anything you can give takes us one step closer to a world where no-one is left to suffer simply because they have no access to health care and other basic necessities. This has to be a future worth investing in!

Making a Will
Writing a Will is essential if you want your estate to pass to the people you wish to benefit. If you die without one, the law decides how your estate is distributed, and the causes or people you really care about may receive nothing. If no relatives are found, your entire estate goes to the government.

If you'd like to make a Will, you can do it for FREE at www.totallyfreewills.co.uk
Totally Free Wills has been designed to give you the power to create your own Will in your own time and to ensure it's legal by having it checked by a solicitor. If your circumstances change and you need to write a new Will, you are able to do so at any time without charge.

Updating a Will
You should review your Will annually because circumstances change which may revoke it including the birth of a child, marriage, or the death of a spouse. If changes need to be made, the cost will be less than having a new Will written. If you only need to make a few changes, then you can make a legal addition to your Will known as a Codicil.
