Can I make a gift in my Will to more than one charity?
Yes, your solicitor can arrange this for you.
Do I need to leave my entire estate to The Shepherd Centre?
No, and we strongly encourage you to ensure that you look after your family and/or loved ones first.
What are the different types of gift I can leave?
Percentage: You can make a provision for a proportion of your estate to be gifted to The Shepherd Centre.
Residuary: After making provision for your loved ones, you can then donate a part of the balance of your estate to The Shepherd Centre.
Pecuniary (set amount): This option allows you to nominate a set amount of money to be donated to The Shepherd Centre.
Assets: You can gift specific items from your Will to The Shepherd Centre. Some suggestions might include shares, property, life insurance funds, artworks and jewellery. These can be itemised and bequeathed to The Shepherd Centre.
What type of gift would The Shepherd Centre prefer?
Whilst any gift is greatly appreciated, a residual legacy or a percentage are the best options because they maintain a relative value and automatically adjust to changes in the value of your estate. These legacy types do not decrease in value over time.
