 | The gift of a future |
Without money from legacies we couldn't maintain and develop our work. Without this money many of our projects would simply close, denying young women in those areas the chances and choices we can offer them. Please remember YWCA when writing your will or updating an existing one.
The gift from a legacy can give a young women a future to look forward to, a future she may not have thought she ever had.
| Why should I make a will? |
It is essential to make a will. If you die 'intestate', that is, without making a will, your family may suffer unnecessary hardship after your death. Seven out of ten people in the UK die without making a will. If you, rather than the Inland Revenue, want to decide how your estate is divided up, then draw up a will. A solicitor or professional adviser can help. Usually it's not difficult and can be done quite cheaply.... and making a will won't make you die the next day.
| Making changes to your will |
If you want to make a minor change to your will - such as adding a legacy - your solicitor or professional adviser will help you to draw up a codicil, a separate legal document. A change in your personal circumstances, such as if you marry, divorce or have children, should prompt you to check and update your will.
If you would like more information about making a will or changing it to include a legacy gift to YWCA, please ask for our free guide. It is easy to understand and tells you how to prepare for a visit to a solicitor.
