Legacies

Leaving a legacy to St Loye's Foundation in your Will is a wonderful way of leaving the world a better place. You may also find it can help you with tax planning, because legacies to registered charities are free from Inheritance Tax.

There are four kinds of legacy you can leave to help our work for disabled people.

  • A residuary legacy is the best and simplest gift.  It is the gift of all (or part) of the residue of your estate - that is to say, what is left when all other legacies and debts have been paid.

  • A pecuniary legacy is the gift of a specific sum of money.

  • A specific legacy is the gift of a particular item - for example, a piece of property or a valuable antique.

  • A reversionary legacy is one, which is only paid after the death of someone else. If you have a partner, you may want to leave your entire estate to him or her, but to ensure that after your partner's death, all or part of it comes to the Foundation.

How should you go about it?

It is simple to leave a legacy to the Foundation. If you already have a Will, you can do this as part of a general up-dating of your Will, which everyone needs to do periodically. Or you may prefer to add a legacy to the Foundation by means of a Codicil - an additional instruction to your existing Will.

Legacies are so important to our future

Legacies are a vitally important source of funds for St Loye’s Foundation. If you are able to support us in this way, your gift will genuinely be the gift of a new way of life for many disabled people.
