Yes, if you’d prefer to write or update your Will using your own solicitor you can do so whenever convenient for you but at your own cost. You’ll need our Registered charity number 1054015, if you kindly choose to leave a gift to Tenovus Cancer Care.
You can make or update your Will using our partners the National Free Will Network. Please speak to the solicitor when you call to book your appointment to discuss making changes to your Will.
It’s recommended that you update your Will if you make any life changes that could impact your current Will. For example, moving to a new house, the arrival of grandchildren, family bereavement, changes to your financial situation. Tenovus Cancer Care cannot provide legal advice, so please discuss your options with a solicitor.
You will not be able to make amendments to an existing Will through Farewill, they only offer new Wills.

A cancer diagnosis for you or someone you love can lead to unexpected costs. If you’re unable to work or have to make changes to your lifestyle, it can be expensive. And if you’re unable to work, bills can quickly mount up. There are often benefits and grants that you might be entitled to which can help with some of the financial pressure of cancer.
Our team of expert Benefits Advisors can talk to you about what financial support is available and guide you through the complex benefits system. We can look at your circumstances like your financial situation, who you live with and what health needs you have, and advise you in detail about any welfare benefits, grants, or practical help that you should perhaps be getting.
They can also help with applications and advise on challenging benefits decisions or help with progressing claims where necessary. Please click here to find out how to chat with a Benefits Advisor.
