Why leave a gift?

We’ve left a gift in our Wills, so that some of the money we leave behind can help them continue their good work.

Probate Fee Changes A Risk to Charitable Legacies

In response to the Government’s announcement of this new probate fee structure, the director of Remember A Charity, Rob Cope, says: “The new probate structure will see charitable wills costing – in some cases - thousands of pounds more than they do currently and our concern is that this could deter people from leaving a donation in their will. After all, if estate planning comes with such a hefty price tag for wealthy individuals – many of whom leave sizable gifts to charity - they may think again."
