Leave a Legacy
By remembering The Eve Appeal in your Will you can help
ensure that lifesaving research into gynaecological cancers will
continue.
Leaving a legacy is a tax-efficient way of giving to this vital
research as charity gifts do not attract inheritance tax and it is
relatively easy to set up.
To leave a legacy, you will need to write or legally alter a
Will. Writing a Will does not need to be complicated or
expensive and ensures that your estate will be distributed
according to your wishes rather than decisions being made on your
behalf.
1. Find a solicitor
Instructing a solicitor is one of the safest ways to make a Will.
The Eve Appeal can offer the services of Corren Troen for a free
initial consultation about setting up or altering your Will.
2. List your assets
Note down all of your assets such as your bank/ building society
accounts, car, home, belongings etc.
3. Decide whom you would like to benefit
Your beneficiaries may include family, friends and charities.
4. Decide what gifts to leave
There are several types of gifts that you can make:
- Residual Gift - A bequest of any assets that
remain after you have provided for named beneficiaries and after
any expenses have been deducted.
- Pecuniary Gift - A fixed sum of money - this
may be affected by inflation.
- Specific Gift - Bequeathe a specific item -
antique, jewellery etc.
- Reversionary Gift - A gift that provides for
your loved ones during their lifetime but reverts to your nominated
charity on their death.
