Leave a Gift in your Will
By leaving a gift in your Will, you'll be supporting veterans as they find peace from war for years to come, even after you're gone. Take the first steps towards ensuring your legacy today.
A will is one of the simplest ways to ensure that your wishes are followed and that the future of the people and causes you care about most are provided for. To support Waterloo Uncovered, you could leave:
- A share of your estate (residuary gift) – For example, you could leave 25% or 1/3 of your estate to Waterloo Uncovered, after taxes, to continue supporting veterans.
- A fixed sum (pecuniary gift) – You may want to leave a fixed amount of money to Waterloo Uncovered. If you choose to do this, you may want to consider linking it to inflation. Without this it could mean the true value of this gift may be less than you intended.
- A specific item – You may wish to leave a meaningful or valuable possession or investment. This could include jewellery, an antique or shares, for example.
A gift in your Will to Waterloo Uncovered will help us provide support for those who have served their country when they need it the most.
