Make a legacy
The Walter Carrington Educational Trust aims to receive valuable income from donations made to the charity by supporters in their wills. The work it funds has helped the teaching and training of people in the Alexander Technique.
Inheritance Tax
The value of a gift in your Will to a charity is deducted before the estate is assessed for inheritance tax, so a gift to The Walter Carrington Educational Trust could reduce your liability for inheritance tax. A guide to inheritance tax can be found on the HM Revenue & Customs website www.hmrc.gov.uk.
Leaving a Donation to The Walter Carrington Educational Trust in Your Will
Having made all the necessary provisions for family and friends, you may wish to leave some of your assets to The Walter Carrington Educational Trust. A donation made in your will is called a “bequest” or a “legacy”. Bequests are a very valuable source of income for The Walter Carrington Educational Trust. Any bequest made to The Walter Carrington Educational Trust is wholly exempt from tax.
There are three main types of bequest. Please bring any of the following wordings to the attention of your solicitor.
Residuary Bequest
You may wish to leave a specific sum of money or personal possessions to a named person or a number of people. The rest of your assets, once the above wishes have been fulfilled, are known as your residual estate. You may wish to leave your whole residual estate or a fraction of your residual estate to charity. For example, you may decide to leave 10% to be used for the general purposes of The Walter Carrington Educational Trust.
