LEAVE A LASTING LEGACY IN THREE EASY STEPS

1. Name CAF

We provide you and your client with the exact wording, making it easy for everyone.

2. Choose the causes

Your clients identify the charities they'd like to support. Our expert advisors can help them if they are unsure who to give to.

3. Letter of Wishes

Your clients list their chosen charities or charitable causes in our Letter of Wishes and send it to us.

BENEFITS OF THE CAF CHARITABLE LEGACY SERVICE

Easy

Your clients can support all their favourite charities with just one gift.

Flexible

Your clients can change their charities as many times as they wish without amending their Will.

Practical

By naming us as the only charity, your clients save time and cost for executors.

Secure

As a registered charity, we can ensure any tax benefits that your client's estate attracts will be valid.

The legacy offering at CAF is great because it saves people the hassle of having to make a decision right then and there. Even if someone wants to give to a specific charity, I would still recommend CAF because of all the benefits.

TAX-EFFECTIVE GIVING FROM AN INHERITANCE

If your clients have received a legacy, they may decide that they would like all or a part of it to be donated to charity. However, they may not want to donate the money all at once and they may want some time to choose which causes to support - if so, we can help.

A CAF Deed of Variation to a Will is a flexible, tax-effective way for your clients to create a charitable giving fund from a legacy that they have received.

Create a flexible gift for your clients in 3 simple steps

I have used CAF for many years as they make giving to charity easy and flexible. In a few simple steps, you can change the charities in a CAF Letter of Wishes without having to change the Will. The expert Legacy team can help with any aspect of your client's gift. They make it simple to set up and will work with the executors to carry out your client’s wishes.
