The national awareness week, running 11-17 September 2023 is a key opportunity for solicitors and professional Will-writers to open up conversations around charitable estates and the relevant tax breaks linked with legacy giving. This campaign draws together almost 200 charities from across the country, and over 800 solicitors and Will-writers all championing the message of giving from your Will.

In today’s world, UK baby boomers are active and engaged in their communities, they are financially-savvy and, according to Saga’s Generation Experience report, around two thirds of them support charities.

In this environment, offering advice on the inheritance tax (IHT) incentives on charitable donations included in their Will takes on even greater significance.
As solicitors and Will writers, you can help your clients leave a lasting impact on the world by making them aware of the option to include a charitable gift in their Will.
