We strongly advise people to seek the services of a solicitor when making or changing their will.
Using a solicitor gives peace of mind that instructions and wishes will be carried out as intended and a solicitor is best qualified to explain the types of bequests that can be made.
Nadia Cowdrey, Senior Solicitor and Head of Tax, Trusts and Estates Department at Griffith Smith Farrington Webb Solicitors LLP has written three useful articles about legacies:
The importance of making a will
How to prepare for meeting your Solicitor
Inheritance Tax advantages in making a gift to the hospice in your will
Information to include about the hospice in a will
The only information you need to include about the Hospice to ensure that any gift you make to us is secure is to use our correct legal name, main address and registered charity number – The Martlets Hospice Wayfield Avenue Hove East Sussex BN3 7LW Registered Charity Number: 802145.
Your solicitor will be able to include this information alongside the type and amount of your bequest to us.
