Will writing for NHS admin staff.
Same protections. Same pension. Same need.

The 220,000 NHS staff who get forgotten in every will-writing pitch

Most "wills for healthcare workers" content is pitched at clinical staff — nurses, doctors, paramedics. The 220,000+ NHS administrators, managers, finance officers, HR business partners, IT engineers, estates teams, communications staff, and support workers who keep the trust running tend to get treated as an afterthought.

Which is odd, because non-clinical NHS staff have exactly the same NHS Pension Scheme membership, the same death-in-service entitlements, and the same legal need for a will as anyone in clinical work. The will is the same document. The estate-planning considerations are the same. The cost of dying intestate is identical.

This page is for the people whose job title is "Band 5 Performance Analyst" or "Senior IT Support" or "Estates Compliance Officer" — and who deserve a will writing service pitched at them, not at the consultant down the corridor.

What every NHS admin will should sort

1. NHS Pension nominee form

Your NHS Pension Scheme death-in-service benefits — paid as a lump sum of two to three times your annual pensionable pay — are paid at discretion to your nominated beneficiaries. Recorded on form DB2 or PN1, separately from your will. If you've not looked at your nominee form since you started, look at it now. This is the single highest-value piece of paperwork in your file and it lives outside your will.

2. Guardians for children under 18

If you have children under 18, only a will can name guardians. Without one, the courts decide. This applies regardless of your role, salary band, or whether you wear scrubs to work.

3. Unmarried partners and step-children

Under the Intestacy Rules — what applies if you die without a will — unmarried partners get nothing and step-children get nothing, regardless of how long you've been together or how you've treated them. Only a will fixes this. Disproportionately affects NHS staff because cohabiting and blended families are very common.

4. The home

If owned jointly with right of survivorship (joint tenants), the home passes automatically to the surviving co-owner outside the will. If owned as tenants in common, your share passes under the will. Most couples don't know which they have. The questionnaire prompts you to check.

5. Specific gifts and beneficiaries

Items, savings, life insurance not paid under nomination, charity legacies. The will distributes everything that doesn't pass automatically by survivorship or under nomination.

What this service does not cover

ClearLegacy is a will writing service. We currently don't offer Lasting Power of Attorney, probate administration, or trust formation. For LPAs, the Office of the Public Guardian's online service is the cheapest official route. For probate after a family bereavement, fixed-fee probate specialists are the right call.
