Leave a legacy
Would you like to leave a legacy to C&TA, so you can continue helping to support the Norfolk Museum Service?
There are two types of bequests you may like to consider detailed opposite, with suggested sample wording.
Pecuniary bequest (a fixed sum of money);
Sample wording for a pecuniary bequest;
I give free of tax to the Costume and Textile Association for Norwich Museums (C&TA) Registered Charity No. 1000730, c/o Shirehall, Market Avenue, Norwich NR1 3JQ, the sum of £ (figures and words) to be used for its general charitable purposes, and I declare that the receipt of the treasurer shall be a sufficient discharge to my Executor.
These types of legacies can often be affected by inflation and their value can decrease e.g. £10,000 this year will probably not be worth the same in the future. However, you can choose to link pecuniary legacies to the Retail Price Index, in order to safeguard the sum of your gift. You should consult your solicitor and/or accountant for full details on index-linking.
Residuary bequest (a proportion)
Sample wording for a residuary bequest
I give (%) of the residue of my real and personal estate which I can dispose of by Will in any manner I think proper to the Costume and Textile Association for Norwich Museums (C&TA) Registered Charity No. 1000730, c/o Shirehall, Market Avenue, Norwich NR1 3JQ. The receipt of the Trustees or the proper officer for the time being of C&TA, shall be a complete discharge to my Executors.
Suggested added wording for either bequest;
If at my death any charity named as a beneficiary in this Will or any Codicil hereto has changed its name, or amalgamated with, or transferred its assets to another body, then my Executors shall give effect to any gift made to such charity as if it had been made (in the first case), to the body in its changed name or (in the second place), to the body which results from such amalgamation or to which such transfer has been made.
