One of the main reasons why people leave money to a charity in Essex or anywhere else for that matter is that, when we plan for the future, we would all like to be remembered by those that are left behind even if it is just in some small way. Each of us would like to know that we left our small part of the world a better place than how we found it both for the present and for the future.
In modern society, leaving money to charity has become an increasingly significant phenomenon with even many celebrities, including Bill Gates, George Lucas, Simon Cowell and Jackie Chan, having chosen to leave their wealth to charity.
But how difficult is it for the average person to leave money to a charity in Essex or anywhere else in the UK or even abroad?
The simple answer is that it is not really all that difficult at all to make a valid bequest to a charity that is legally enforceable at the time of your passing.
Put simply, your Will gives you a chance to say what you want to leave to the charity or charities of your choice when the time comes. This could be a fixed cash amount, an item in your possession of particular value, or simply whatever is left after you have looked after your loved ones. The best thing is that, whatever donation you provide, it will be taken from the estate before the Inheritance Tax on your estate is calculated.
