Leave a Gift in your Will

Writing a will gives you the control and peace of mind that when you are gone your estate will be given to the correct people. Without a will, everything you own will be divided up according to the law which might be against your wishes. Not only does a will make sure your money, property or possessions go where you want them to, it makes the whole process easier for your friends and family.  

If you choose to include Hospice in the Weald in your will, you will need the following information:  

• Our Charity Number: 280276
• Our Charity Name: Hospice in the Weald
• Our Address:
  Hospice in the Weald,  
  Maidstone Road 
  Pembury 
  Tunbridge Wells 
  TN2 4TA  

It’s easy to add Hospice in the Weald to your will, you can add a legal document to it known as a Codicil Form and update it at any time.

Yes, there are. Charities are exempt from inheritance tax and the value of your estate will be calculated after your charitable donations.  

As well as the gift itself being tax-free, charitable gifts can also reduce the amount of inheritance tax that the rest of your estate will pay. If you give at least 10% of your taxable estate to charity, the inheritance tax rate for the rest of your estate drops from 40% to 36%. 

We appreciate you would prefer to know exactly how your gift is being used but it would be useful for us if you don’t specify how we use your gift. This is so it can be used in the place most needed at the time. We promise to you that we will always use your gift responsibly and effectively.  

Yes of course you can. A will is your own personal document. You can change it at any time, and you don’t need to tell us.
