How to leave a gift in your will
Once you decide to make a Will, we recommend you use a solicitor. Professional advice is less expensive than you might think and having a valid and accurate Will can give real peace of mind.
Choose the type of gift you want to leave
There are a four main ways to leave a gift for us in your Will.
- A residual gift is the remainder or a percentage of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been deducted. This ensures that your loved ones are remembered first.
- A pecuniary gift is a gift of a specific amount of money. Ask your solicitor to index link this gift to ensure that inflation will not reduce its value over time.
- A specific request is a gift of a named item such as a painting.
- A contingent benefit is a gift that is dependent on other factors such as outliving all other beneficiaries.
