Most likely the best way to give

Congratulations!

By coming to this website you have shown an interest in what is, by many standards, the best way to give to charity, a legacy in your will. It is certainly the most effective way to give. Whatever your favourite charity does, legacies can help it to do much more.

The aims of this website are …

  1. … to show how easy it is to protect one's family with a will;
  2. … to remind readers that charities welcome legacy support;
  3. … and to provide a free legacy website for charities which do not have one.

When asked in polls why so few of us seize this golden opportunity to give what may be the best charitable gift we can ever give, one of the most frequent answers given is "Nobody asked me". Well, I am asking now, on behalf of whatever charity you support.

I hope that when you have looked through this website you will want to rush out and include them in your will straight away. It doesn't matter at all that they will have to wait years for it. Charities are used to that, because not only do they attend to today's needs, they also work to meet long term aspirations – and that's where legacies come in.

Your legacy really could make the world a better place for your grandchildren.

I recommend consulting a solicitor when making a will.

An unusual competition was held Canada when a wealthy man left $200,000 to the woman in his hometown that gave birth to the most babies in the decade following his death. There was a tie, with three mothers sharing the inheritance with nine babies each.
