REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL
To make a stronger impact in funding essential research into lupus, Lupus UK is seeking to increase income. The Lupus UK Legacy Guide describes what is vital in the writing of a will and what can happen if people fail to record their wishes correctly. Almost 50% of adults have not made a will and their estate could thus be disposed of in a way that would not have met with their wishes.
The Lupus UK Legacy Guide is comprehensive yet easily understood and is recommended to members of the charity and others who would like to support Lupus UK in this way. You can view and download the guide from this page or contact us at National office and we will happily send a physical copy by post.
