How do you want to be remembered?
Having an up to date Will makes sure your wishes are followed and you are contributing to the financial security of the people and organisations you care about.
Gifts in Wills have enabled Jersey Cancer Relief to provide the levels of financial support to islanders with cancer possible. This makes those of you who decide to leave a gift some of our most values supporters. A 1% gift in your Will, will make 100% difference to those who benefit from your support.
The different types of gifts you can leave in your Will.
This is called a “residuary gift” and is written as a percentage of your estate. By leaving a residuary gift you can be reassured that the value of your gift won’t be devalued by inflation the way a set sum of money is
This is called a “pecuniary gift”. It can either be a specific amount that does not change over time, or you can specify that it is an “index-linked pecuniary gift” meaning the value is linked to the retail price index. This means any amount pledged will keep its value in line with inflation.
You can also gift specific items such as jewellery, art, stocks and shares, or a property. These gifts can be a little more complex and we recommend speaking to a solicitor for advice on the wording for your specific situation.
You can leave a gift for some to use over a period of time and when the time has ended the gift can be passed on to another recipient, such as a charity.
These are gifts made only in the event of something else happening. For example your will could state that a gift to a charity only applies if other beneficiaries in your will die before you.
In Memory Donations
There are many ways you can remember and or celebrate the life of someone special.
At what is a very difficult time for all the charitable donations given in memory will make a lasting difference to others it goes to support.
