HOW TO LEAVE A GIF T IN YOUR
W ILL FOR DEMENTIA RESEARCH
There are four types of gifts that you can include in your Will.
A residuary gift means a gift made from the remainder
of your estate, after expenses like debts, liabilities and
inheritance tax have been taken care of and any other
specified gifts have been distributed. You can specify a
percentage of what remains, or all of it.
A pecuniary gift is a cash gift, where you decide
the amount.
A specific gift means a particular item, such as jewellery,
stocks and shares, or the proceeds of a life insurance policy.
A conditional gift is a clause included in your Will in case
of unforeseen circumstances. For example, if the person
you intend to leave your estate to dies before you do.
Haven’t got a Will, or need a new one?
If you’re making a new Will, Alzheimer’s Research UK can
be included like any other beneficiary. We’ve included some
wording to do that opposite and left a space for your gift,
whether that’s a percentage of your estate or a specific sum.
