Giving money to charity in your Will is a lovely way to leave a positive legacy for the future. People leave:
- Cash sums
- Property
- A share, or the whole, of their estate.
There can be tax advantages to leaving money to charity in your Will.
Legacies left to UK charities now exceed GBP3 billion a year, up by 10 per cent on last year, according to figures from the wills notification service Smee & Ford. More than 10,400 individual charities were named in wills in 2018, the highest number ever recorded. You might be interested to know that the most popular causes are places of worship.
