£1,000.00 - would buy a new cabinet to help us display and preserve the growing number of artefacts for future generations.
We do recommend that you seek legal advise when making or updating your Will, however the following might help you.
A residuary Gift is made from whatever is left over once gifts of money or items have been distributed and cost have been deducted. This could increase in value if your estate increases and the amount can be distributed among a number of beneficiaries.
A pecuniary Gift is a specified sum of money. You can consider asking your Solicitor to index link this so it keeps its value over the years.
A specific Gift is an object or asset relating to Rayleigh itself.
You can guard against any change of our name or merger of the Charity (although none are planned for us) by including the phrase “and successor organisations” to cover this eventuality.
