How much should I leave?

We understand that your loved ones come first. When you have taken care of your loved ones you may want to think about Every gift we receive from our supporters – no matter how big, or how small – is important to us.

How should I leave my gift?

There are three different types of gifts in wills (legacies): residuary, pecuniary, and specific.

A residuary legacy is when a person leaves a percentage of their estate after all the other legacies have been made and debts cleared. One of the advantages of a residuary legacy is that it will not lose its value over time and you will be less likely to need to update your will in the future.

A pecuniary legacy is a gift of a specified sum of money. As the value can vary over time your will needs to be kept up to date to ensure that all gifts left in this way are still in line with your wishes.

A specific legacy is a gift of a particular item such as property, antiques, or jewellery.

It is important that you always enlist the help of a solicitor to ensure you will is legally binding.
