After helping to write over 7,500 Wills during her career, retired probate solicitor, Jayne Smith, knows just what can happen if people don’t put their affairs in order before they die. “If you don't make a Will, then you have no say in who gets what when you're gone. The Government decides for you. “There’s also a common misconception that if you’re married, your spouse will automatically inherit everything when you die. This is not always true.” During ‘Confessions of a Probate Lawyer’, Jayne looks back over her career and shares anonymous examples of the outcomes of having no Will, or a poorly-written Will. You could be in the audience to hear these anecdotes, find out the pitfalls of not having a Will and hear how easy it can be for you to make a Will with Treetops support. The next sessions for this FREE event are: Friday 13 March 2026 (1.30pm) Monday 27 April 2026 (12.30pm) [button url="mailto:Johanne.musson@treetopshospice.org.uk" template="block" class="btn-block--red"]Book your FREE tickets[/button] Jayne’s talk is one of several free resources offered by Treetops Hospice to help people write or update their Will. Gifts left in Wills for the hospice help provide end-of-life nursing care for up to two in five of their Hospice at Home patients.
