Legacies

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the very best ways to support Cornwall Air Ambulance Trust.

Money donated by people who have remembered the charity when making a Will helps to pay for 3 out of 10 airlifts to hospital.

Every adult should have a Will, regardless of their age, income or wealth. It is the only way of ensuring your wishes are met after your death. And yet 1 in 5 people in the UK die without one, which can cause extra distress for loved ones at what is already a difficult time.

A legacy doesn’t have to be large, and it won’t prevent you from providing for your family.

A legacy to a charity can ease the burden of Tax, and can ensure that your gift keep on making a difference.

If you are considering making a Will, its important that you use the services of a solicitor.

If you already have a Will, and you are considering making changes to it, your solicitor can advise you on how this is normally done, with a written instruction called a codicil.

There are two main types of legacy and your solicitor will explain them to you, so you can decide which is best for you.
