How do I access the free online will with my union membership?

Union members can access EPOQ’s online document creation service to prepare a simple will, free of charge. The online service is extremely easy to use, with on-screen questions guiding you to insert your wishes and allow you to complete your will at your fingertips, free of charge. Once completed, print the will and follow the instructions to get your will signed and witnessed, then store it safely at home. It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and you can stop at any point and complete at a later date if you wish.

If you choose this option, it is important to note that your will won’t be reviewed by one of our legal experts and you will not receive tailored legal advice to ensure that what you have written encompasses all of your individual needs and circumstances..
