How to leave a gift in your Will
Including a gift to VSO in your Will is easy to do. Here are the things you need to consider when writing your Will.
Types of Gifts in Will
If you do decide to leave a gift in your Will there are different types for you to choose from. The two most common types are:
Residuary: A residuary legacy is a share or percentage of the residue of your estate, after all costs and other gifts to friends and family have been made. Residuary gifts account for a large proportion of the income we receive from gifts in wills each year. Whilst there are occasions where someone leaves us their whole estate, many people choose to leave a smaller percentage. Whatever you are able to give to VSO will make an incredible mark on our vision to create a fair world for everyone for generations to come.
Pecuniary: A pecuniary gift is a fixed amount of money. Unless this is index linked, it depletes in value over time.
Including a gift is easy!
The most important pieces of information to include are our name, address and registered charity number:
