Leave a Legacy

Having a will and keeping it up-to-date helps ensure that your wishes can be respected and your property and assets benefit people and causes you really care about. We would always recommend that you speak to a qualified professional such as a solicitor, when making or amending your will.

Your solicitor will be able to advise you on the required wording to carry out your wishes. If you wish to leave a gift to Age UK Wirral in your will, all you need is our charity details below:

Age UK Wirral 
141 Park Road North
Birkenhead
CH41 0DD 

and our registered charity number 1034510

We would be grateful if you could let us know if you have included us in your Will

If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to Age UK Wirral in it, there may not be 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.

You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art. Or you can leave a share in, or all of, what's left of the value of your estate after family and friends have been taken care of. The advantage of leaving a share (also known as residuary gift) is that it remains the same over time, and you won't need to change your will to keep up with inflation.

Age UK Wirral provides information and details of things you need to consider when making a will at any of its centres.
