What is a legacy donation?
A legacy donation is a donation made to a charity in a persons will. This means that when a person passes a specified portion of their estate is given to their nominated charity by the executor.
It is essential that someone considering leaving a legacy donation seeks independent legal advice, to ensure any decisions made are right for the donor as well as their family and friends who may be affected by the donation.
There are a few different types of legacy donation, as detailed below, however all kinds must be stipulated in an official will.
Pecuniary Gift
A pecuniary donation is a donation that is a specified, fixed amount.
For example: "I wish to leave the sum of £500 to WNDA for its charitable purposes"
Residuary Gift
A residuary gift is a donation of a percentage of an estate, usually calculated once all other beneficiaries have been resolved.
For example: "I wish to donate 25% of my estate to WNDA"
Specific Gift
Donate a specific item in a will, such as property or a collection of books. It's important to describe the item to be donated to avoid any confusion.
For example: "I wish to donate my 1st edition Roald Dahl books"
However you choose to support WNDA with a gift in your will, you can be assured that your gift will be greatly appreciated, and will contribute to supporting Deaf and hard of hearing people across West Norfolk.
