Leave a gift in your Will
By leaving a gift to Success Charity in your Will, you can become a guardian for future generations of young brain tumour survivors.
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.
How do I include Success Charity 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 Success Charity and they will help you to include it in your wishes.
The full legal description that should always be used to describe the charity in a Will is: Success Charity of 280 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 4AG. (Registered Charity No. 1188298).
Making a straightforward change to your Will
You can easily update your Will using a document called a codicil. This makes a simple amendment to your current Will. It’s completed in the same way as your Will and should be stored with it.
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. 2
