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.
