Frequently asked questions
What kind of gift can I leave?
There are three main ways to leave a gift in your will:
A share of your estate, taken after other gifts to loved ones, debts and expenses have been settled (known as a residual gift)
A fixed-sum cash gift (a pecuniary gift)
An item such as a painting or jewellery (a specific gift)
What if I don’t have a will?
Please use a solicitor to draw one up. Any solicitor local to you can provide help or advice, and can ensure your will is legal and valid.
Can I amend my will?
If you already have a will, it’s a good idea to review it to ensure it reflects your wishes. You can update your will any time. Including a beneficiary such as Theirworld is very simple.
What about inheritance tax?
Charitable gifts are usually free of inheritance tax. Gifts in wills can also help reduce inheritance tax on the rest of your estate. A solicitor can advise you.
Can I choose where my gift will go?
Most people are happy for their gift to be used wherever it is needed most. However, if you would like your donation to support a specific area or purpose, we will do our best to honour your wishes. Please contact us to discuss this further giftsinwills@theirworld.org
