How To Leave A Gift To Our Charity
|
Making a Will is an important way of looking after the future of your family and friends. After you’ve taken care of loved ones, you may wish to leave a gift in your Will to a favourite charity, hopefully Whitstable Music Society. By remembering us in this way, you’re ensuring that our work lives on.
|
The donation can be as small or large as you like. If you choose to leave a gift to Whitstable Music Society make a note of our charity name, address and Registered Charity number 270276 and to give to your professional advisor when writing a Will. Alternatively, share with them this link to Charity's Commission.
If you want to leave a gift to charity but have already made a Will, it’s not a problem. There are a couple of simple ways you can change it.
1. A new Will
The first and probably simplest way is to write a new Will. Once written, it makes any Wills made by that person in the past void. In fact, most Wills will start by reciting that you’re writing a Will and that you’re revoking previous Wills. You can write a new Will with a professional advisor. However, if you do not want to do this, there is another way. It’s called a Codicil.
2. Codicils
A codicil is a document used to change a Will that has already been made. It’s used as a way to make simple additions or amendments to an existing Will like a change in the amount of a gift of money, or the addition of an executor or gift. This is all quite straightforward. You can also make a codicil with a Will-writing advisor.
