Patrons

PLEDGE A LEGACY

Thank you for considering pledging a legacy to Jackdaws, which can be as small as you like.  Any donation is set against inheritance tax. Please complete the form below to let us know you are intending to include Jackdaws in your will so that we can include you in the Patrons Club.

TYPES OF LEGACY

There are three types of Legacy:

  • Pecuniary – a fixed amount donated to charity.
  • Residuary – donation of funds remaining after all other gifts, fees and debts have been paid.
  • Specific – a donation of a specific assets such as shares, property or other valuables.

TAX

As Jackdaws is a charity, your donation will be taken off the value of your estate before Inheritance Tax is calculated. The rate of tax is then reduced if you donate more than 10% of your estate to charity.

HOW TO DONATE

We suggest you talk to your solicitor about including Jackdaws as a beneficiary when writing your will or about adding a Codicil, an addition to your current will, which will amend the existing will to add a fixed sum (effectively a donation) to a charity.

Please complete and return the Pledge form to us so that we know you intend to include Jackdaws in your will. Thank you.
