Leave a Gift in your Will

Thinking about Wills can be a daunting prospect. It’s not easy to think about dying, but it is important to make sure your wishes are written down so they can be carried out. Taking this step can provide a lot of comfort to your loved ones after you're gone. People put off making a Will, which sometimes means people leave it too late.

To help make this process as easy as possible for you, we have teamed up with FreeWills.co.uk so you can make a fully comprehensive Will for free. You can do it from the comfort of your own home in just a few simple steps with live support available if you need it. Your Will will be checked by legal experts and can be updated at any time.

When you are making your Will, please consider leaving a gift to Age UK Hammersmith and Fulham. 

A gift in your Will ensures that we can be there for the older people of the future. For your children and grandchildren when they get older. These gifts enable us to continue to provide vital services to older people in Hammersmith & Fulham, improving wellbeing, defeating ageism and providing a social space for those who need it.

You can leave a specific sum of money or a share in, or all of, what's left of the value of your estate after your family and friends have been taken care of. You could leave as little as 1% as a gift to us, meaning your loved ones still get 99% of whatever you have. Any gift, big or small, will make a huge difference to older people in Hammersmith and Fulham.

Gifts in Wills are free from Inheritance Tax and won't cost you a penny during your lifetime. It is a great way to support local older people and really will go a long way, no matter what you give.

If you already have a Will, and you want to include a gift to Age UK Hammersmith and Fulham in it, there may not be a need to rewrite it. You can ask a qualified professional such as a solicitor to add an amendment (called a codicil). As a general rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new Will.

Thank you for considering leaving a gift to Age UK Hammersmith & Fulham in your Will. We really do appreciate it.

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us.
