Ensuring your involvement with the ongoing mission of your church with a gift in your will.
Having a will ensures that you have the opportunity to provide for your family and loved ones and to support causes that are important to you. You can continue to support the mission of Christchurch Clevedon by including a gift in your will. We would encourage you to seek the advice of a solicitor in drawing up your will and including any legacy gifts.
There are three main types of legacy gift:
- Residuary Legacy – A share or percentage of your estate after other specific gifts have been made
- Pecuniary Legacy – A specific sum of money, which you can ask your solicitor to index-link to safeguard its value
- Specific Legacy – A particular item – for example, property, shares, or jewellery etc.
Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Luke 12:34
