The Gift of a Legacy to Saint Catherine’s Hospice

By remembering Saint Catherine’s Hospice in your Will, you will be helping to secure the future of the hospice, allowing it to continue to deliver its support and care to the community.

Why it is wise to keep your will up to date

Without an up to date will, there is no guarantee that your wishes will be carried out after your death, so it is worth taking time out now to make sure the future is as secure as possible for your loved ones.

It is well worth remembering that an out of date will can often be worse than no will at all.  In these circumstances family and friends are left with the difficult task of sorting out your affairs at a very emotional time.

Without a will, assets you wanted to leave to others may go elsewhere or to the state, instead of to your loved ones or chosen beneficiaries.

Many aspects of your life can alter over the years, your marital status may have changed or there may be more children and grandchildren for whom you wish to provide, or a disabled child or relative.  Your financial situation can change significantly over the years and it is important that your will reflects this.

You should be aware of the current Inheritance Tax threshold, as without effective planning for this, your loved ones may be left with a substantial tax liability.

Leaving a Gift to Saint Catherine’s Hospice

It is only right that you provide for your family and friends first.  But once you have done so you may want to leave something to Saint Catherine’s Hospice.  Any gift you decide to leave will be greatly appreciated.  We recommend a Solicitor is consulted who will give you independent advice on drawing up your will.
