You can help our dogs in many ways when you leave a Gift in your Will

Your solicitor or any other service you use to prepare your Will may use words such as ‘bequest’ or ‘provision’ – these are legal terms for the word ‘gift’.

Residuary Gift – is the gift of all (or part) of the value of your estate after debts, liabilities and other legacies have been paid and is the most valuable kind of legacy you can leave to Romanian Rescue Appeal.

Pecuniary Gift – is the gift of a particular sum of money.

Specific – is the gift of a specified item that could be for example; property or a piece of artwork.

Contingent – This would be used in the case where the person who you have left money or property to sadly passes away before you do, in which case you can put a clause in place to ensure the money or property then comes to Romanian Rescue Appeal.

Reversionary – with this type of gift, the benefit of your estate will remain for a person or people during their lifetime and go to the Charity only after their death or upon any specific condition being met.

NB: please use our full details in your Will to make a Gift to the Dogs – here’s some suggested wording

If you would like to leave a gift in your Will to Romanian Rescue Appeal the following wording may be helpful when you visit your legal advisor:

“I give all (or a _% share of) the residue of my estate to Romanian Rescue Appeal, Registered Charity Number: 1161037, 3rd Floor, 166 Upper Richmond Road, London, SW15 2SH for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the Treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge. In all other respects I confirm my will.

Suggested wording for a codicil to Romanian Rescue Appeal

If you have already made your Will and decide that you would like to add a gift to Romanian Rescue Appeal, a codicil is a cost-effective method of doing it.

Adding a codicil to your Will enables you to leave a donation to Romanian Rescue Appeal while still making sure that your other provisions remain the same and you won’t have the cost of having to have your Will rewritten.

The following wording for a codicil may be helpful when you visit your legal advisor:

“I (name) of (address) declare this to be my first codicil to my last Will dated (date). I give (details of legacy) to Romanian Rescue Appeal, Registered Charity Number: 1161037, 3rd Floor, 166 Upper Richmond Road, London, SW15 2SH for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the Treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be a valid and appropriate form of discharge. In all other respects I confirm my will.”

You can find some suggested wording to be included in your will for the different types of gifts in this pdf  Will Guide.

Thank you so much for supporting the work of Romanian Rescue Appeal and working with us to make these dogs’ lives worth living, now and in the future.
