By
including a gift to Liverpool ADHD Foundation
in
your will you are demonstrating your concern for children and
young people with ADHD.
A bequest in your will
is one of the more traditional forms of giving to charity but
remains a very important one. There are two types of legacies:
- Residuary bequests
- this means that once family and loved ones have been provided
for, the remainder or a proportion of the deceased's estate
is pledged to one or more charities.
- Pecuniary bequests
- this means that the deceased pledges a specific sum of money
to a particular charity.
What
are the benefits?
A bequest to charity
enables you to make a planned gift to a charity you care about,
whilst ensuring dependants are provided for. Charitable legacies
are paid before tax is deducted, reducing the total amount of
inheritance tax due from your estate.
How
do they work?
You
can either name a particular charity in your will or leave a sum
of money to the executors with instructions as to how and to whom
the sum is to be distributed. If you have a lawyer or solicitor,
they should be able to provide you with information as to how
charitable legacies can be incorporated within your will.
