How To Leave A Gift In Your Will
There are different types of gifts you can leave to Self Injury Support (Sift) in your Will. Every gift will make a difference to someone who needs our support in the future, so if you’re thinking of leaving us a gift, thank you.
Below are the types of gifts you can leave in your Will:
- A share of your estate: For example, you could choose to leave 30%, for example, of your estate to Self Injury Support, once all taxes and other payments have been made. This is known as a residuary gift.
- A fixed sum: You might choose to leave a fixed amount of money to Self Injury Support, which is often referred to as a pecuniary gift. For example, this could be £200, £2,000 or £20,000. If you choose this type of gift, it’s worth considering linking it to inflation. Without this it could mean the true value of this gift may be less than you intended.
- A specific item: You may wish to leave a personal possession or specific investment. For example, this could include jewellery, an antique or shares.
Every gift will make a difference to someone who needs our support in the future.
We strongly recommend seeking independent legal advice from a qualified solicitor when making or updating your Will. This ensures your wishes are accurately reflected and your Will is legally valid.
To ensure your gift reaches us correctly, please provide your solicitor with our full legal details:
