By
remembering the Sanctuary in your Will you can enable us to continue and
extend our work to protect those goats in need.
Your legacy or bequest will also mean that you can take advantage of the
substantial tax privileges that are available to encourage such support.
Legacies or bequests can substantially reduce or even eliminate the tax
payable on the balance of an estate and are themselves totally exempt from
inheritance tax.
You may not think that your estate will incur inheritance tax. However,
you may be surprised how quickly the value of your house and contents, savings
and insurance policies, reaches the threshold of inheritance tax liability.
Anything over the sum allowed will normally incur tax unless left to a surviving
spouse or to a Registered Charity.
It is advisable to consult a Solicitor or professional will writer to ensure
that your Will is legal and valid. If you choose to make your own Will the
following is an appropriate wording for a Legacy;
I hereby bequeath to the Trustees of the Buttercups Sanctuary for
Goats, Registered Charity number 1099627 Boughton Monchelsea, Kent,
ME17 4JU, the sum of £__ free of all taxes and other fiscal impositions
and the receipt of the Treasurer or other proper officer for the time
being shall be good discharge for my executors.
