Donations and Legacies
A legacy is one of the most effective ways in which you could support the HIST and help the village and almshouse residents today and in the future.
Making a Legacy or Codicil
If you wish to change your Will, you can either revoke (cancel) the previous Will and make a new one or add a Codicil to the original Will.
It is advisable to instruct a solicitor to assist you in making a Will, or adding a Codicil .
There are three types of gift:
Residuary
A gift of all or part of your estate after debts, liabilities and other legacies.
Pecuniary
The gift of a particular sum of money.
Specific
The gift of a specified item such as property, a painting or jewellery
Suggested Wording
If you should decide to make a gift or add a Codicil in favour of the HIST, the following wording may be helpful when you visit your solicitor:
A Gift to the HIST:
“I give all (or a percentage share) of the residue of my estate to the HIST (Charity Registered Number 216115) for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the receipt a duly authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge”.
A Codicil to the HIST:
“I (name) of (address) declare this to be my Codicil to my last Will dated (date). I give (details of legacy) to the HIST (Charity Registered Number 216115) for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the receipt a duly authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge”.
