Why should I write a Will?

Expand

If you decide not to leave a Will, the government will decide how your estate is divided. Whereas by creating a Will you provide your family and friends with your exact wishes on how you wish your estate to be distributed.

Should I update my Will?

Expand

It is very important to remember when making your Will that it may need to be changed later on due to circumstances. For example, if you get a divorce, lose a loved one, or decide to start a family you may wish to change the information provided in your will. To amend your Will, you will need to add a codicil which has been witnessed when signed.

What are the different types of gifts I can leave a charity?

Expand

There are three main ways to leave a legacy to a charity:

 

  1. A specific legacy, which is a particular item left to the charity such as a piece of jewellery.

 

  1. A residuary legacy is what remains once all gifts have been handed out. You can leave a share of what is left or the whole amount.

 

  1. A pecuniary legacy is when you leave a set amount of money.
