FAQs

Who should write my will?
We always recommend using a practising solicitor to write your Will. This helps to ensure your Will is legally correct and that all your wishes will be followed.

Can a gift to charity help me pay less tax?
The money and assets left in your estate may be subject to inheritance tax and it may be of advantage to share your estate so that your family and friends are left gifts below the tax threshold (which is currently £325,000), so they do not have to pay inheritance tax. The remainder of your estate can then be left as a gift to one or more charities, like St John’s Hospice.

If I’ve left a gift in my Will, should I tell you?
Yes, it would be really helpful if you can let us know that you have included us in your Will – that way we know we don’t need to approach you again. Its also means we can keep you update date on how your intended gift can help the hospice.
