When writing or amending your Will, you should always seek advice from a solicitor. Here are some of the types of gifts you can leave:
Reversionary gift
Allows you to leave assets for the care of a loved one for as long as they live, after which time your gift will go to a person you’ve chosen
Specific gift
This is a way of passing on a particular item.
How to word your gift
It's important that World Animal Protection is correctly identified in your Will, and that your gift is described in enough detail.
We recommend that you take this suggested wording to your advisor, for their reference:
I give to World Animal Protection, 222 Grays Inn Road, London, WC1X 8HB, registered charity number 1081849, ____ (insert percentage or amount of gift in figures and words) and I express the wish that such gift be used for the general purposes of World Animal Protection. The receipt of a duly authorised Officer of World Animal Protection shall be a good discharge to my executors for the gift.
For solicitors and executors
If you're carrying out the wishes of someone who's included World Animal Protection in their Will, we’ve put together some help sheets which we hope you'll find useful.
It’s so important to speak up for animals. They can’t speak for themselves.
