Aberdein Considine will provide a 15 per cent discount on the creation of a will for people who use a referral code from Archie, which exists to transform experiences and outcomes in healthcare and bereavement for babies, children and families across North Scotland.

Open to people of all ages, the ongoing partnership aims to encourage more people to plan ahead and put their wishes in writing, highlighting the importance of creating a will and giving people an added incentive to take the first step. Ryan Fox, partner in Aberdein Considine’s private client department, said: “We are proud to partner with The Archie Foundation to introduce our discounted will writing referral scheme. While it is a subject many people are hesitant to think about, ensuring your wishes are respected and your loved ones are provided for is so important.

“Creating a will is often a simpler and less expensive process than many people imagine and our solicitors offer straightforward and practical advice that can help people plan ahead with confidence.

“Working with The Archie Foundation is a natural fit for us. The charity’s work supporting babies, children and families at some of the most difficult moments of their lives is felt right across the North-east. We’re pleased to help make will-writing more accessible and facilitate charitable giving in wills.”

Ruth McIntosh, head of fundraising at The Archie Foundation, said: “Partnering with Aberdein Considine to offer a discounted will service shows what a local business and a local charity can achieve together. We’re very grateful to the team for their support and for sharing our commitment to families across the North-east.”
