Leaving a Legacy UK
By including a gift in your Will, it will cost you nothing now and enables you to take advantage of perhaps the most generous tax deduction offered by the UK government – by giving 10% of your residual estate to a charity such as The George Adamson & Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust, you could reduce the inheritance tax rate applied on the remaining 90% of your estate from 40% to 36%.
Our work today will protect the future of Kora National Park’s rare ecosystem and its
wildlife for the benefit of future generations. The inclusion of a gift in your Will –
which could be a fixed sum of money, a percentage, or a combination – means that
you will be helping us to safeguard the future of Kora, its wildlife and its local
communities.
Important Considerations
The George Adamson Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust is a registered UK charity, number 279598.
If you are considering leaving us a gift, we advise that you consult with, and instruct, a solicitor to make sure that your Will is properly drawn up, valid and enforceable, and that your wishes will be carried out exactly as you intend.
The following details will be required:
Registered Name: The George Adamson & Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust
Registered Address: 141a High Street, Edenbridge, Kent TN8 5AX
Charity Number (England & Wales): 279598
Updating an existing Will:
If you already have a Will, you can still leave a gift to The George Adamson & Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust by adding a Codicil to your existing Will. In this way, you can leave a legacy to The George Adamson & Tony Fitzjohn Wildlife Trust whilst ensuring that the other provisions in your Will remain untouched, and you won’t have to pay for your Will to be completely re-written.
Types of Gifts
In terms of the actual wording of your gift, should you choose to include one in your
Will, this would be dependent on the type of gift you wish to include, which can be:
A set amount of money (a Pecuniary Gift)
A percentage of your estate (a Residual Gift)
Please be aware that the types of gifts and exact terminology may differ according to your country of residence.
