We recommend that you use the services of a solicitor or professional adviser experienced in will-making to ensure that your wishes are clearly set out in your will.
People who have assets in the UK may also have assets in other parts of the world and people may move to other parts of the world whilst retaining assets and interests in the UK. This could affect a legal situation.
A gift that grows
Should you wish to do so, it is very simple to leave a gift in your will to the Woodland Trust. If this is something you are considering - we are very grateful. There are several ways in which you can leave gifts to both your loved ones and your favourite causes, the most common of which are listed below:
|
Bequest/Legacy |
Contingent/Conditional/ Restricted Legacy |
| Reversionary Legacy |
Specific Legacy/Gift |
| Gift of Land* |
Residuary Legacy |
| Pecuniary Legacy |
|
Our Simple Guide to will-making and legal terms sections give an explanation of these types of gift, together with simple definitions of related legal terms.
Please note that:
- The charity’s name, address and registration number must appear in the relevant clause in the will.
- The sample wording should not be used out of context.
- As always, we strongly recommend that you seek professional advice when making or changing
your will.
