Leave a legacy gift

Leave a legacy gift in your Will

We really appreciate you taking the time to consider supporting Annabelle's Challenge in this way and playing a part in our ultimate aim of finding a cure for vascular EDS. 

Your will is one of the most important things you’ll ever write, and we can help you with the process of making or updating a Will.

What types of gift can you leave?

The most common types of gifts left in Wills are:
  • A residuary gift. The residue (or a proportion of the residue) of an estate after all other gifts, debts and expenses have been paid. 
  • A pecuniary gift. A fixed sum of money.
  • A reversionary gift. A two-stage gift where assets are first held in a trust to provide some benefit to an individual. This could be a property for them to live in or income generated by investments. Once that individual’s need for the property (or trust) ends, the assets then pass to a second beneficiary, such as a charity.
  • A specific gift. An identifiable asset such as a property, an investment or a piece of jewellery.  
These types of legacy gifts are a great way of ensuring that both your loved ones and the charitable causes you care about will benefit from your estate. 

If you have any questions about the kind of gift you’d like to leave in your Will, please contact our team on 0800 917 8495 or speak to your solicitor.

How do I include Annabelle's Challenge in my Will? 
We recommend you use a solicitor or professional Will writer to have your Will drafted. The cost is relatively modest and it can help reduce the likelihood of your wishes being challenged after you pass away. You can inform your solicitor or professional Will writer that you would like to leave a gift to Annabelle's Challenge and they will help you to include it in your wishes.

Making a significant change to your Will 

If you would like to make significant changes to your Will, we recommend that you consult your solicitor or professional Will writer and consider having it redrafted.
