Ways to leave a gift
There are several ways you can remember Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue in your will.
A residuary gift
A residuary gift is a percentage or share of what remains of your estate after your loved ones have been provided for and all other gifts, expenses and taxes have been paid.
Because it is a proportion of your estate rather than a fixed amount, a residuary gift usually keeps its value over time.
Suggested wording for a residuary gift
“I give [all / ______%] of the residue of my estate to Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, Registered Charity Number 1143603, for its general charitable purposes, and I direct that the receipt of an authorised officer of the charity shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.”
A pecuniary gift
A pecuniary gift is a fixed sum of money. You may wish to ask your solicitor about index-linking the amount so that its value is protected against inflation.
Suggested wording for a pecuniary gift
“I give the sum of £________, free of tax, to Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue, Registered Charity Number 1143603, for its general charitable purposes, and I direct that the receipt of an authorised officer of the charity shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.”
A specific gift
