LEAVING A GIFT<br />
IN YOUR WILL<br />
Gifts in Wills pay for around half of our work to help people with tinnitus<br />
The majority of the research projects we have supported would not be possible<br />
without kind donations made in Wills.<br />
When you are writing your Will, it is of course important to consider your family and friends first.<br />
Once you have made provision for your family and feel able to leave something to the British<br />
Tinnitus Association, you can be assured that you will be leaving a long-term legacy to offer hope<br />
and support to people with tinnitus now and in the future.<br />
Types of gifts<br />
You can choose to leave the following types of gifts in<br />
your Will:<br />
1<br />
Share of your estate<br />
You can leave anything from 1% to 100% of your<br />
estate. This is also known as a residual gift.<br />
2Cash gift<br />
A fixed sum of money known as a pecuniary gift.<br />
3<br />
Specific gift<br />
You may choose to leave a specific item in your Will,<br />
such as jewellery, a car, or shares.<br />
Did you know?<br />
Currently, 40% of people<br />
will die without a Will.<br />
This could lead to<br />
significant legal costs, and<br />
a lot of stress for the<br />
family left behind.<br />
If you are interested in leaving a gift to the<br />
British Tinnitus Association, and need more<br />
information, please contact David on<br />
0114 250 9933 or <strong>email</strong> davidsteele@tinnitus.org.uk<br />
We strongly recommend you use a solicitor to<br />
help you make your Will, to ensure that it is legally<br />
valid and that your wishes will be carried out exactly<br />
as you want.
