The first new merchant in around 19 months. Problem is that Charites are offering free wills via High Street Solicitors at the moment.

I have requested several of these free will packs but all I receive is packs asking me to leave money to their charity but nothing on how to get a free will .

From the Red Cross site. Similar wording on a lot of charity sites.
We partner with the National Free Wills Network, whose participating solicitors will help you write your will for free. When you request a pack, they will send you a list of solicitors local to you.
if the list is not enclosed. Then probably best to complain direct to the charity.
Or choose a more efficient charity to enquire from.
Could have a look here.

The problem is that my favoured charities aren't there - and I would never, ever, donate to the fat-cat London-based "nationals" that pay megabucks to their management team.
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me

You do not have to include a charity in your will. You are STRONGLY encouraged to do so though.
