FAQs<br />

Do I really need a <strong>Will</strong>?<br />

Hav<strong>in</strong>g a <strong>Will</strong> is the best way to ensure that the people and causes you<br />

care about are looked after.<br />

Do I need a solicitor to write or amend my <strong>Will</strong>?<br />

We recommend that your <strong>Will</strong> is reviewed by an expert legal advisor.<br />

We can help you to f<strong>in</strong>d a local solicitor who will write your <strong>Will</strong> for free<br />

through our membership to the Free <strong>Will</strong>s Network.<br />

What <strong>in</strong>formation do I need to leave Capability Scotland a <strong>Gift</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />

my <strong>Will</strong>?<br />

All you need is our charity name (Capability Scotland) and our charity<br />

number (SC011330). <strong>Your</strong> solicitor will guide you through the rest.<br />

Are there any tax benefits to leav<strong>in</strong>g a <strong>Gift</strong> <strong>in</strong> my <strong>Will</strong> to Capability<br />
