Ensuring the
future
It is our wish to establish a substantial endowment fund, which will provide
for the research and equipment to help present and future generations
deal with heart problems.
It is realised that for many, there are often limited ways in which lifetime
support in financial terms can be made possible. That is why the provision
of a bequest in one’s Will is becoming more practical.
Charitable legacies and bequests are free of inheritance tax and greatly assist estate planning.
Four Ways To
Give
There are four common forms of legacy, and professional advice should
be sought to determine which is the most appropriate for you.
The Pecuniary
Legacy
This is a method of leaving a named amount of money to the Charity. The
disadvantage of this means of support is that inflation erodes the value
of the bequest over the years. One way to avoid this is to set aside a
specific proportion of your estate to your beneficiaries as follows:
The Residuary
Legacy
This donates a percentage or fraction of the residue of your estate after
your specific bequests have been made. This is a way to protect the real
value of your gift. We would ask you to consider bequeathing one or two
percent of your Estate.
A Life Interest
(Reversionary Legacy)
All of us are concerned for those we leave behind, and wish to ensure
that proper provision is made for those closest to us. A Reversionary
Legacy enables you to leave money or a percentage of your estate to the
Charity after the death of your spouse or relative. This enables them
to enjoy your assets during their lifetime, with the designated portion
reverting to the Brighton Heart Support Trust afterwards.
The Conditional
Legacy
If you would like to leave part of your Estate to the Charity, but feel
that someone else has a stronger claim to the gift, then you can make
a Conditional Legacy. This means that you leave your bequest to a particular
person, but in the event that he or she should predecease you, then that
bequest would go to the Charity. Your gift can take any form such as shares,
paintings or other items of property.
