How can I leave a legacy in my will to NCBI?
When making a will it is advisable to seek the professional help of a solicitor. The four different legacy gifts you can make are:
1. A Pecuniary Gift
This is a gift of a specified amount of money.
2. A Specific Gift
This is a gift of a specific item such as property, jewellery, stocks, shares or other valuables.
3. A Residuary Gift
This is the remainder of your estate after all other gifts to family and friends have been distributed and all outgoings have been resolved.
4. A Reversionary Gift
This is a gift in which a named person has access to the estate, which only reverts to the charity on the death of that person. For instance, the will states that a friend is allowed to live in your house until their death, when it will revert to the charity.
