Once you have shared your estate between your family and friends, you may wish to leave part of the remainder to a charity. We would be delighted if you chose us.
Legacy gifts are hugely important to Friends of the Elderly - they make up almost 50% of the voluntary income we receive.
There is a misconception that legacy gifts tend to be huge amounts. this is completely untrue. While some of the bequests we receive are large sums, the majority are small gifts of less than £1,000. Some supporters leave us a specific amount of money (called a pecuniary legacy); others leave us a share of their estate once all their specific bequests have been made (called a residuary legacy).
If you would like more infomation about how you can update your Will to include Friends of the Elderly please contact our Legacy Manager on 020 7730 8263.
We always advise you to seek professional advice when making or changing your Will. If you would like the details of some solicitors in your area, please contact our Legacy Manager.
