Will-writing service
Find out how you can access our free will-writing service as one of your many Sussex benefits.
University of Sussex staff have access to a free will-writing service provided in partnership with Taylor Lucas Partnership.
Having a will in place is an important step in planning for the future, helping to ensure your wishes are clearly set out and your loved ones are supported. However, it’s something many of us don’t always prioritise.
