Having an up-to-date will is the only way you can make sure the people and causes you care about are taken care of in the future.
You can have your will written for free through the National Free Wills Network, or use our free online will-writing service through MyIntent.
A gift in your will to Breast Cancer Now can help to make sure no one in the future goes through breast cancer alone and no one loses someone they love to the disease.
There’s absolutely no obligation to include a gift to us in your will. But we do hope that some people will consider this after loved ones have been provided for.

MyIntent free will service
Online
If you’re looking for a convenient way to write or update your will, you can use our free online will-writing service, MyIntent.
This is offered through our partnership with Bequeathed, and it’s available to you if you live in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
How do I get started?
To start, create your account with MyIntent and follow the simple steps to create a draft will.
You can make a start on your MyIntent journey right away. You just need to go online, register and complete the online will interview.
You’ll then get all the support and guidance you need throughout the will-writing process, including access to hundreds of articles and the ability to talk to someone online or over the phone at a time that suits you.
You’ll receive online legal advice tailored to your situation and wishes, in the form of recommendations or requirements from Bequeathed’s in-house solicitor.
You can book a free appointment to discuss any of these in more detail.
Start your free online willHow much will it cost?
You won’t have to pay anything for a basic will, which is suitable for most people. If your circumstances are complex and you need more advice, the legal firm will explain what’s needed and give you a quote.
This also applies to the telephone service.
What happens next?
Once you’ve completed the writing process, you’ll get your will sent to you, along with instructions on how to sign it correctly in front of witnesses.
You’ll also receive a letter of advice summarising everything you’ve been told, and setting out what your will does and doesn’t do.
This also applies to the telephone service.
Telephone
If you can’t go online to start your will, you can start writing your MyIntent journey over the phone or on a video call.
How do I get started?
To start, book your telephone appointment with MyIntent.
Before setting up a call, you should know:
- You'll need to attend a follow-up appointment on a Zoom video call, so you’ll need to have access to a device with a video camera
- You’ll also need an email address, so that a confirmation of your appointment can be emailed to you, along with the options to reschedule or cancel
Once you’ve booked the call, you’ll get a confirmation email with a Zoom telephone number to call. Or if you prefer someone from MyIntent to call you, you can ask for that instead.
The call will last for up to 45 minutes. A member of the MyIntent team will talk you through the online will interview and complete it on your behalf.
You can then book a free 30-minute legal appointment to discuss your wishes further.
