Your legacy to charity
Leaving a gift to charity in your will is an amazing way
for your generosity to last beyond your own lifetime. We can make
arranging a charitable legacy easy and flexible.
How does it work?
All you have to do is make a gift to CAF in your will, and
let us know which charities you wish us to pass your gift on
to.
This service is flexible because it allows you to change your
list of beneficiaries at any time without needing to update your
will. As a bonus, any sum of money you leave to charity is exempt
from
Inheritance Tax
, reducing the amount of tax payable on your
estate
.
When the time comes, we'll make sure your chosen charities get
the money you’ve left to them. Or if you'd prefer, the legacy can
go into a charitable trust, to be managed by your successors.
Why not just use your will?
The key to the CAF Legacy Service is flexibility. If you want to
change your will, you have to make an appointment with your
solicitor to change it. But if you have a Legacy Account, you can
change your charities and amounts at any time, without charge.
We can provide you with suggested clauses for your solicitor to
include in your will, and even help you choose the charities that
will benefit from your gift. You can ask us to pay to any
recognised UK charity, including schools, churches and
hospitals.
