Our advice services are more in demand today than ever before, and as we move into the future that demand looks set to grow even further. Any gift, however small, will help to ensure that we are still here for your family and friends, and their children and grandchildren.
Every adult should have a Will, regardless of their age, income or wealth - it is the only way of ensuring your wishes are met after your death. Not making a Will can cause real administrative and legal complications for your loved ones at a very difficult time.
In making a Will, naturally your first priority has to be taking care of your family and loved ones.
If you don't have a Will, having one written is a lot easier than you think.
If you already have a Will, changing it to include a gift to Citizens Advice or a specific Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) is very straightforward.

Gifts left to charities in Wills - usually known as legacies - don't need to be large. Even a small percentage of your estate, left as a gift, can make a big difference.
Citizens Advice is a charity - that's why we desperately need your support. As an independent charity, Citizens Advice and each of the 350 your local Citizens Advice Bureaux rely on the support of members of the public - people like you.
None of us can predict what problems our families and friends - and their children and grandchildren - may face in the future. They might have money difficulties, a relationship breakdown or ill health. They might have a disability, face an employment dispute or become a victim of discrimination. We are determined to make sure that whatever problems they face in the future, they don't have to face them alone. You can help us to achieve that aim today.
Leaving a gift to Citizens Advice or your local CAB benefits you, your family and the whole community.
Gifts left in wills help in many of ways:
Whichever you choose, you can be assured that your gift will make a real difference to people’s lives, to the building of healthier communities, and a fairer society.
