Leave a legacy

Having a will and keeping it up-to-date helps ensure that your wishes can be respected and your property and assets benefit people and causes you really care about. We would always recommend that you speak to a qualified professional such as a solicitor, when making or amending your will.

Your solicitor will be able to advise you on the required wording to carry out your wishes. If you wish to leave a gift to Age UK Ealing in your will, all you need is our charity details below:

Age UK Ealing

and our registered charity number 1100474

If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to Age UK Ealing in it, there may not be need to rewrite it. You can ask a qualified professional such as a solicitor to add an amendment (called a codicil). As a general rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new will.

You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art. Or you can leave a share in, or all of, what's left of the value of your estate after family and friends have been taken care of. The advantage of leaving a share (also known as residuary gift) is that it remains the same over time, and you won't need to change your will to keep up with inflation.

• A RESIDUARY GIFT is a share of your estate after taxes and debts have been paid.
• A PECUNIARY GIFT is a fixed sum of money.
• A SPECIFIC GIFT is a specific possession such as property, art or stocks and shares.
