Leave a Legacy

By leaving a legacy to the Friends of Leighton House you can help ensure that we are able to continue our support of Leighton House and 18 Stafford Terrace, ensuring that they can flourish into the future and be enjoyed by generations to come.

Leaving a bequest to a charity such as the Friends of Leighton House could also help reduce any tax burden on your estate. Liability for Inheritance Tax may be reduced or eliminated through a gift in your Will to the Friends. Your tax advisor will be able to explain this further.

Without a Will, what happens to your estate once you pass away will be decided by law. Difficulties and misunderstandings can arise, adding to the distress of your family. Depending on the value of your estate, your property could pass to your immediate family or be divided among distant relatives whom you might not have intended to benefit. If you have no living relatives and do not make a Will, the State is entitled to the whole of your estate.

A legally correct Will allows you to ensure that family and friends of your choosing will be provided for and that good causes you wish to support will also benefit

We understand that your Will is personal to you, so there is no need to inform us of your pledge unless you wish to do so. However, if you would like to tell us about plans we would be grateful as this will help us with our forward planning and enable us to provide you with appropriate information and invitations.
