Legacies Introduction

Do you have the will to help us?

Many people find it difficult to think about what will happen when they die.Too often, this results in a failure to make the necessary arrangements.

One of the most important preparations you can make is to ensure that you have an up-to-date Will.But there is a perception that this is an expensive and complicated chore.

In fact, the real cost lies in not having a Will or, worse, having an out of date Will.In the worst cases, your entire estate would revert to government coffers.

The reality is that making a Will or adding a legacy to an existing Will is straightforward and less expensive than you might think.And what’s more, gifts to charity are Inheritance Tax free, so leaving a gift to Road Victims Trust could reduce the tax payable on your estate.

If we know we have been remembered in a Will we can show our appreciation of this generous support in various ways.

It is your chance to change things for good.

Above all, your Will is your chance to shape the world you leave behind……….This is what makes writing a Will such a uniquely exciting and enriching opportunity.

Once you have provided for your loved ones, a gift to the Road Victims Trust is the ideal way to play a lasting part in ensuring that we continue to offer our service to the victims of serious road collisions.

I hope if, and when the time is right for you to include a legacy in your Will, you will remember our charity……….

If you would like more information about making or updating your Will, we have produced a free booklet to guide you through the process. Please contact Louise Stafford on 01234 843345 or email lous@rvtrust.co.uk for your copy.
