Ways to leave a legacy

• A Pecuniary Legacy - a specific sum of money.
• A Residuary Legacy - the amount left over in your estate after all other pecuniary legacies and gifts have been made and after all administrative costs have been deducted. This type of legacy keeps pace with inflation and is the best way for Trees for Life to benefit from your bequest.
• A Gift In Kind - bequeathing specific items such as your house, car, jewellery, shares etc.

Adding to your existing will

This can be done by adding a simple form called a codicil. Your solicitor can help you draft this; you do not need to completely rewrite your will.

It is important that you engage a solicitor to create or add to your will. This is actually much cheaper than expected with costs generally less than £100. This way you can ensure that the wording is correct.

If you have already mentioned Trees for Life in your will, it would help us plan ahead if you could give us an idea of the nature of your intended bequest.

Thank you for considering supporting us in this way!
