What to think about before leaving a gift in your will
Writing a will is important as it will ensure that your decisions and instructions with regards to your assets following your death are followed. While we can support you with understanding the process of leaving a gift in your will, it is important to seek professional legal advice and you should always instruct a legal professional to help you.
When writing a will it is important to ensure you are happy with what will be provided to your nearest and dearest – your friends and your family. It is also an opportunity to leave a gift to something that you feel passionate about, or something that has really impacted your own life.
Leaving a gift may also reduce the portion of your estate that will be subject to inheritance tax. Please talk to a legal professional if you think that this is something that might impact you.
