Project Summary
The Brief
It's easy to put off writing your will and getting it sorted, plus not many people know they can leave a gift in their will to charity. We've partnered with charities to make it as easy as possible to do so!

Octopus Legacy is a place to plan for death and find support after a loss.
When people think about planning for death and dealing with loss they think about products - wills, lasting power of attorneys, probate.
We take these cold processes and turn them into something much more human.
Share more than just money in your will. Make it your own. Why not add in a voice note? Throw in the recipe you're famous for? Share your go-to playlist? Don’t rush it, but add to it as life changes. Co-create it in conversation with friends and family.
One of the ways we distribute our online wills is via our 250+ charity partners. Gifts in wills make up a significant portion of charities income and our online tool helps charities offer a clear call to action in the form of a free will writing service.
In Sep-Oct 2024 we're running a campaign for our charity partners to help them promote legacy giving via gift in wills. We will be testing paid social ads across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to encourage our charity's potential supporters to leave a gift in their will using our will writing service.
Which can be done:
- Online (sort-from-the-sofa-friendly)
- Can be completed in ~15 minutes
- Each will is reviewed by legal experts
- Legally binding when printed and signed with a witness
-Over the phone
- Home visit or in-branch

How are we this far through the year already?
Not got around to the things on your to-do list - like writing your will? Yep. That was me too.
Until today.
I’ve just done mine, and am feeling pretty relieved. For a long time, I assumed that the process was super complicated. Then I actually did it - and I can’t believe how easy it was! I wish I’d known, I’d have done it sooner.
It’s especially easy this month because Autism Together has partnered with leading will writers Octopus Legacy so that we can write our wills for free.
I made sure my loved ones will be looked after and I included a gift to Autism Together to help continue to create a better world for autistic people filled with opportunities and acceptance, long after I’m gone.
You can choose what you leave behind and how you want to do it - you can write your will online, over the phone or face to face. I chose to do mine online so I could do it on the sofa at home and take my time.
Honestly, don’t put it off any longer - it’s such a relief to have it sorted.
Do:
- Film in natural light, ideally facing a window
- When not directly speaking to a camera, use VO but ensure the audio quality is seamless and natural
- Use copyright free music, and remember to submit the version without
- Keep it lively and energetic - we want to encourage the audience to take action
- Shoot high-res
- Add subtitles, please use white writing against a black background to ensure it’s accessible for all
Don’t:
- Sound like you’re reading off a script
- Film via TikTok app. In case of revisions please edit with CapCut or similar
- Blurry footage, not being able to see you clearly.

ACCESSIBLE VS ANXIETY-INDUCING: We don’t use over-complicated technical jargon. We make conversations around death accessible, not anxiety-inducing or confusing.
STORYTELLING AS A WAY OF BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER: We don’t talk in blanket statements. Everyone’s experience of death is different. Instead, we can encourage open communication by championing individual stories.
DIRECT: We don’t beat around the bush. As a brand, we use ‘death’ rather than ‘passed away’. We are direct without being crass.
GROUNDED: We know that nothing we say or do will remove the emotional difficulty of death. We will never promise that.
