Last year's drive a success

In September 2020, the firm’s annual free BVI Wills drive resulted in over 40 free simple Wills being drawn up for members of the community ages 60 and up. Due to the success of last year’s drive, Harneys has extended the opportunity to the wider community this year.

Head of Harneys BVI Private Wealth, Ayana S. Hull commented: “The events of the last few years, whether it is hurricanes or global pandemics, have reminded us of the preciousness and fragility of life. During these unprecedented times, we have all had the opportunity to reflect and acknowledge that it is important to ensure that our affairs are in order during, and after our lifetime. I am proud to be associated with a law firm that is offering assistance to those in the community, who may not be in a position to make these arrangements, the opportunity to do so free of charge.”

Head of Harneys BVI Private Wealth, Ayana S. Hull said she is proud to be associated with a law firm that is offering assistance to persons in the community to have their Wills done free of charge.
