Types of gifts
If you are planning to remember Sunnyfield in your Will we strongly recommend that you discuss it with your solicitor or legal adviser who can assist you with the preparation of your Will and ensure that your wishes are met.
Whilst there are many ways to leave a gift in your Will, the simplest and most common are
- Residual gift: This allows you to gift the amount remaining in your estate after loved ones have been taken care of. It removes the need to put a precise value on your gift and is one of the most effective ways to support Sunnyfield.
- Pecuniary gift: This allows you to leave a fixed amount of money from your estate to Sunnyfield.
- Percentage gift: This allows you to leave a nominated percentage of your estate to Sunnyfield.
If you already have a Will
Your Will can easily be amended to include a gift to Sunnyfield. Your solicitor or legal adviser can advise you on the best way to do this. It may be as simple as adding a codicil (addendum) to your Will.
