How to leave a gift in your Will
Your lasting legacy for Yorkshire's wildlife
Writing a Will is extremely personal - it is a document which guides your lasting impact for the people, things and places you love.
With your help we can make sure nature’s special places are even bigger and better for wildlife and people in the future. We are determined to create landscapes where wildlife can flourish and a gift in your Will can help us to do so much more.

A future for our wild places
Gifts in Wills help us to protect and enhance the beautiful, wild spaces of Yorkshire.
From the high blanket bogs of the Pennines to the breezy sea-bird cliffs at Flamborough, we are creating a Yorkshire that is rich in wildlife, now and for the seasons to come.
Ways to write your will
Free online Will service
We work with Make A Will Online, and as a supporter of our Trust we are offering you the opportunity to write a simple Will online, free of charge, from the comfort of your own home.
A basic Will can be drafted in as little as 30 minutes and the step-by-step process makes it easy to complete. A qualified solicitor will check your Will and can talk to you on the helpline if you need them.
Data Privacy
When you make a will online, we will receive information such as your name, address, email, year of birth and the type and size of any gifts pledged. With your consent, this allows us to thank you and keep in touch. We also understand that some supporters prefer to give completely confidentially. If that’s the case, you can use this link to make a will online without us being informed.
Whichever way you choose to support us, please know how grateful we are for your generosity.
The service also includes free access to Capacity Vault, a trusted safeguard to help protect your wishes and reduce the risk of future challenges to your will.
To write your will online please click below and follow the instructions.
Make a will face to face
If you already have a solicitor or if you would rather speak to a solicitor face to face you should do so. Also if you have a large estate above the inheritance tax threshold, or have a complex estate (e.g. trusts or foreign assets) you should also speak with a solicitor.
You can find a local solicitor using the website below.
