Suggested Wording
If you wish to leave a gift to Trinity Hospice and Palliative Care Services, the following wording can be used when drafting your will.
Residuary Legacy
“I give all (or a ___ % share of) the residue of my estate to Trinity Hospice of Low Moor Road, Bispham, Blackpool, FY2 0BG, Registered Charity Number 511009, free of Inheritance Tax, for its general charitable purposes and I direct the receipt of the Treasurer for the time being or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my [Executor(s)/Trustees].”
Pecuniary Legacy
As this type of gift is likely to lose value through inflation over the years, the wording below allows for the gift to retain its real value through linking it to the Retail Prices Index.
Alternatively, you can revise your Will at regular intervals to ensure your gift is at the value you desire.
“I give to Trinity Hospice of Low Moor Road, Bispham, Blackpool, FY2 0BG, Registered Charity Number 511009, for its general charitable purposes the sum of money produced by dividing the sum of £___(words and figures) by the index figure in the Index of Retail Prices (‘the Index’) for the month in which this will is executed and (having made allowances for any re-basing of the Index which may have happened in the meantime) multiplying it by the Index figure in the Index for the month in which my death occurs, and I direct the receipt of the Treasurer for the time being or other duly authorised officer shall be a sufficient discharge to my [Executor(s)/Trustees].”
If you would like to leave a gift of property or another other specific item of value, or if you live in Scotland, please do speak to your solicitor as the laws are slightly different to England and Wales.
