A legacy is the greatest gift you can give us as it provides a secure resource for the Orangutans Foundation's future. It is relatively easy to arrange and its impact will be lasting.
The following details should assist you if you are considering leaving a legacy to the Orangutan Foundation. However, we strongly recommend that you also seek the advice of a solicitor who can draw up your will according to your specific wishes.
What are the options for leaving a legacy to the Orangutan Foundation?
Your gift can take any of the following forms:
- A pecuniary bequest - where a specific sum of money is donated.
- A specific bequest - a specific item that you would like to leave to us. This usually refers to any non-cash items such as shares, property or other valuables.
- A residual bequest - the remainder of your estate after specifying all your pecuniary and specific bequests.
What next?
The next step is for you to make an appointment with your financial or legal adviser. They can help you to decide what sort of bequest to make.
We urge you to consult with a legal or financial adviser to make sure that:
- You can take advantage of any savings in inheritance tax.
- Your will is legal and valid for your country.
The cost of using a professional adviser is often very little when compared to the legal costs your family may incur should you pass away without leaving a valid will.
By leaving us a legacy you will be supporting our work and long-term future to the Orangutan Foundation. Please contact us if you require any further information.
