What kind of Gift can I leave?

What is Legacy Giving?
A Gift in a Will is a way of leaving something to a person or group after you die. This Gift can take different forms - money, part of your estate, or belongings. When creating a Will, many people choose to leave most of their money/possessions to family and close friends, and if they have a personal connection to a cause - a charity close to their heart.
​
How does it help?
​
Every good charity lives in two timelines.
We are here in the present, providing vital support where and when it’s needed most. At the same time, we’re looking to the future, asking how we can keep delivering that care, how we can grow new services, and how we can make sure our charity is still here decades from now.
Leaving a Gift in your Will helps us do exactly that. It gives us the security to plan ahead with confidence and the resources to aim bigger for the people we support.
​
Your Legacy could:
​
-
Fund a research student working towards better treatments for GBS.
-
Provide emotional support to those diagnosed with CIDP in the future.
-
Help adapt a home for a person living with MMN, so they can stay independent.
A Legacy Gift doesn’t just support us, it supports our community for generations to come.
​
What kind of Gift can I leave?
​​
There are two primary ways to include a Gift.
A Residuary Gift: A percentage share of your estate (money, property, possessions) once all other payments and Gifts have been made.
​
A Pecuniary Gift: A fixed amount of money
How much you leave is entirely up to you, if you'd like to talk to us about your Gift and how it can be used, please reach out to us.
​
Anything you include to charity is free of Inheritance Tax. By including 10% of your estate to charity you can reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax you pay and support a cause close to your heart.
​
How can I leave a Gift?
​
If you have an existing Will, or have a Solicitor
​
If you have a Will in place but wish to change/alter it to leave a Gift to Inflammatory Neuropathies UK, this is called an amendment or adjustment. You can speak to your current Solicitor, if you have one, about this.
​​​
If you don't have a Will in place, or a Solicitor
​
If you don't have a Solicitor in place, it can be a little daunting knowing where to start. You can speak to friends and family for recommendations in your local area, or you can use one of our trusted Will writing partners.
​
Online
​
We have teamed up with Make a Will Online to make writing your Will simple, and free
​
By following the link below, you can create a Legacy, and if you so choose, leave a Gift to Inflammatory Neuropathies UK. You can return to the page at any time to complete the Will, but it can be helpful to have the names and addresses of anyone you intend to name in the document (friends, family). Once completed, a Solicitor will receive and check over the document.
​
Via Make A Will, you will also have free access to their Capacity Vault, which lets you make a secure digital record of your testamentary capacity and protect your Will from challenge.
​
Local Solicitor (of your choice)
​​
If you'd prefer to arrange your own Solicitor, or have a high value estate, or if you have other complexities in your estate, you can use the Solicitors Regulation Authority website to find a Solicitor.

Please make sure your Solicitor uses our full details.

Tell us you're leaving a Gift
​
Through Make a Will Online, unless you choose to be anonymous, we learn that someone has opted to leave a kind Legacy. However, if you consult your own Solicitor we may not know. By telling us you're leaving a Gift, it allows us to factor those funds into future planning, and it lets us say - thank you!
