Will Aid success for Petersfield & Midhurst Law Firm

MacDonald Oates LLP took part in the nationwide Will Aid campaign again in 2011. Under this scheme, the specialised private client team at the firm prepared Wills for clients in the month of November in exchange for donations to Will Aid. This campaign supports a broad range of charities, both in the UK and overseas, including Action Aid, Save the Children, Trocaire, Sightsavers, NSPCC, Age UK, SCIAF, British Red Cross and Christian Aid.

MacDonald Oates LLP raised a total of £2,460 from preparing Wills in exchange for client donations in both the Petersfield and Midhurst offices in November. The firm has supported the Will Aid campaign for a number of years, raising a total in excess of £17,000 since 1998.

In these difficult economic times, MacDonald Oates LLP is pleased to be able to support the Will Aid charities whilst at the same time providing our clients with a tailored and dedicated service when preparing their Wills. A Will is one of the most important documents our clients will ever sign. This year’s campaign allowed our valued clients to make vital provision for those closest to them having received personalised advice from the team at MacDonald Oates LLP.

MacDonald Oates LLP met many new clients this year when taking part in the campaign and the staff were pleased to be able to share the firm’s culture of professionalism coupled with social responsibility when supporting the Will Aid campaign once more. The attached video link shows just how valuable the contributions from Will Aid can be and what a difference our clients’ donations can make.
