Leave a gift in your will

Leaving a gift in your will is an ideal way to leave a lasting gift for a cause you feel passionate about.

​

It is your choice how much you leave as a gift in a will and it does not mean that you have to make a choice between your loved ones and your favourite charity.

​

Leaving a gift in your will is easy, but it’s always a good idea to consult a professional, such as a solicitor or financial adviser, so you are sure that your will reflects your wishes accurately. They will need to know the amount, or percentage, you wish to leave as a gift and the charities name, address and registered charity number.

​

Here is some suggested wording for your will:

“I give [£xx or xx%] of my estate to Carers Link Lancashire, registered charity number in England and Wales (1156275) for its general charitable purposes.”

​

You can amend an existing Will with the Carers Trust Codicil form https://carers.org/sites/files/carerstrust/codicil_carerstrust.pdf.

Further information on leaving a gift in your Will can be found in the Carers Trust information booklet  https://carers.org/sites/files/carerstrust/codicil_carerstrust.pdf
