Tens of thousands of families are left destitute every year when the unthinkable happens and a parent passes on, as every 22 minutes, a child loses a parent in the UK and half of the UK has no will.
At Bequest, we care that individuals, families and loved ones are supported and protected. Our sole purpose is to simplify wills and life insurance for the millennial market. Removing medical appointments, paperwork, and policy confusion. Our simple to use platform can help millennials secure wills and life insurance of up to £500,000, within minutes, for less than a Netflix subscription per month. We are passionate about wanting everyone to have access to a will and life insurance that doesn’t break the bank.
Why a will?
This last year, during the pandemic, we realized we could provide one of the first UK free will writing services that was fully professional and not one of the ‘off the shelf’ products. So we paused what we were doing and launched Bequest Wills. Within the first few weeks of going live, we were close to nearly 500 written wills, and we plan to continue the free will product for the foreseeable future.
Who needs a will? Everyone!
You may ask why you would need a will. Let me give you a few GREAT reasons.
- To protect non-legal relationships (partner, step-children etc)
- Name your child’s guardian (who will legally look after your children)
- To choose an executor (who will carry out your wishes)
- For control of your assets (all your stuff!)
- Make it easier for your family (everything will be sorted for them)
Did you see that our will is free? No more excuses. Death is super hard, so taking 15 minutes for peace of mind is really a no brainer.
Get life insurance!
Life insurance is deeply rooted in old and complex systems, with out of date terminology and discrimination towards those with mental health and financial issues. We’ve worked incredibly hard to remove these archaic hurdles to get more people protected. Instead of the usual 6 week process, you can get covered in as little as 15 minutes from start to finish.
Who needs it?
We believe that everyone deserves to protect their loved ones and it is never too early to be prepared. You need life insurance if you have:
- dependent children
- a household that relies on you financially
- others who rely on you
- joint debts, such as a mortgage
- a funeral to pay for (they are expensive!)
We go live with our life insurance any day now. And one of the best things about our life insurance policies is that you can make changes as your life changes. Having another child? Purchasing a house? You can update and jump in and out of your policy over time. We understand that priorities can change and we want to be right there with you as they do.
We are so excited to help change the conversation around wills and life insurance. It’s not just for the older generations anymore, as it’s not about age but about protection. You may not be planning on dying anytime soon (no one does!) but being prepared is so important. Your children, dependants, spouses, partners and loved ones deserve to be looked after should the worst happen.
So for your peace of mind, take the 15 minutes to get a will and get cover that fits for you and your lifestyle. Start yours now!
