If you’ve been considering the idea of leaving a legacy gift, Stewardship can help make it easy for you to remember charities in your will.
After deciding how much you would like to give, you can ask your solicitor to leave just one gift to Stewardship in your will, rather than separate gifts to different charities, simplifying the process. Furthermore, in making a gift to Stewardship (a UK-registered charity) in your Will, your estate may benefit from a decrease in Inheritance tax.
Once your Will has been written to include a gift to Stewardship, the next step is to write to us with your letter of wishes. This letter would list your requested recipients and, usually in percentage terms, how you wish for the total balance to be distributed among them.
3 benefits of a Stewardship Legacy Account:
Flexible:
You can choose to make changes to your letter of wishes at any time, without the cost of seeing a solicitor.
Cost-effective:
Legal fees are kept to a minimum. All you have to do is ask your solicitor to add a gift to Stewardship in your Will and provide us with a letter of wishes.
Continue your regular giving:
Benefit charities by continuing your regular giving after your lifetime rather than leaving a single lump sum gift in your Will.
