Leave a gift in your Will

Remembering Fairbridge in your will is a powerful way to support young people in the future to make a positive change in their lives. Legacies made to Fairbridge can also reduce the tax burden levied on your estate as they are completely free of Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

There are a few different kinds of gift you can leave in your Will, the most common are:

Residuary bequest - A gift of the remainder of the estate after all other bequests have been made and debts cleared
Pecuniary bequest - A gift of a fixed sum; the value of pecuniary legacies will decrease over time, as the cost of living increases
Contingent bequest - A gift in your Will that depends upon the occurrence of an event which may or may not happen. An example is a bequest to a charity which applies only if other beneficiaries named in the Will die before the testator (person who made the Will)

What next?

If you have not already made a will, visit your solicitor to ensure that your beneficiaries will inherit according to your wishes.

If you have already have a will, but have now decided to include us, there is no need to make a new one; you can just ask your solicitor to add a codicil to your existing will.

Let us know. If you intend to remember Fairbridge in your will, we would like to be able to thank you and give you the opportunity to find out more about how your legacy would be spent. It will also help us plan for the future. This places you under no obligation whatsoever and is not binding in any way.

Any information supplied will of course be treated confidentially. 020 7928 1704 or giving@fairbridge.org.uk
