Chris and I were very pleased to support this year’s ‘Remember a charity in your will week’. The week aimed to increase awareness of the importance of
charitable legacies, and encouraged more people to think about including
a good cause in their Will.
Many of our clients like to include a gift to
charity once they have looked after their loved ones. For some it is a chance
to give back, perhaps to a medical charity who have supported them through
their final years. For others, it is remembering a charity who helped look
after a close relative during a difficult time, or simply a charity they
believe to be a particularly good cause.
There can also be tax advantages in leaving a
gift to charity in your will. Any money left to a charity after you pass away
is not subject to Inheritance Tax. If you leave 10% of your estate to charity
then you may qualify for a tax relief, meaning your estate will pay any
Inheritance Tax due at a rate of 36% instead of 40%.
Throughout Remember a charity in your will week we were handing out
promotional gifts to people coming in to the office, and were also encouraging
clients and friends of the firm to help spread awareness by word of mouth and
using social media.
Although Remember a charity in your will week is now over, it is not too late to be thinking about making or updating your will and including a charitable legacy.
