Leaving a Gift in Your Will

A Legacy to a Charity is very tax-efficient as such sums fall outside your estate for Inheritance Tax purposes.

If you'd like to leave a gift to the Asquith Bursary Scheme in your Will to enable us to fund further bursaries, we suggest youuse one of the following sets of wording. Please remember to include our full name and registered Charity number.

For a pecuniary legacy (a specific sum), the following wording should be used:

"Igive to the City of London School War Memorial Fund, the Charity of the John Carpenter Club (registered Charity number 325131), the sum of …….. "

For a residuary legacy(leaving the residue of your Estate, i.e. what remains after debts andliabilities have been met and all pecuniary and specific gifts havebeen paid, wholly or partly to the Charity), the following wordingshould be used:

“Igive all the residue of my Estate to the City of London School War Memorial Fund, the Charity of the John Carpenter Club (registered Charity number 325131).”

You should of course always consult aprofessional, independent, adviser when drawing up your Will.
