A Gift in your Will
Have you considered including a gift to a charity in your will?
Legacies can be a valuable support for the future. It is free of inheritance tax, a donation to a charity will help reduce the tax burden on your estate.
There are different kinds of gifts you can leave in your will, most commonly:
Residuary bequest
A gift of the remainder of the estate after all other bequests have been made and debts cleared.
Pecuniary bequest
This is a gift of a fixed sum of money in your will. The value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time, as the cost of living increases.
Specific bequest
A particular name item left as a gift for example a piece of jewellery.
Contingent bequest
This is a gift that depends upon the occurrence of an event which may or may not happen. An example is a bequest to a charity which applies only if other beneficiaries named in the will die before the testator.
Leaving a gift to Autism Concern
To leave a gift to our charity you simply need to include details of the donation in your will. This can be done by writing a legally drawn up will, by making an amendment or codicil to an existing will or by setting up a trust.
