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.
