Legacies
Leaving a gift in your will is the most meaningful donation you can give. This will ensure than even when you’re gone, you can still continue to make a difference to local children and young people with heart disease. Should you be interested in leaving a legacy donation, we advise that you speak to your solicitor about drawing up your will or making an amendment to an existing will to include Children’s Heartbeat Trust. Please also inform your family of your decision.
When including a legacy donation in your will, you will need to consider how much you wish to leave and by which means. You may choose to leave a residuary donation – all or a proportion of your estate; a pecuniary donation which is a fixed sum of money or a specific possession like an antique or painting. Your solicitor will be able to advise you on all aspects of a legacy donation and ensure the wording of your will is accurate and legal.
