禁漫天堂

If you die without a Will or if your Will is invalid, your estate is distributed under . These rules set out a strict order of who can inherit your estate, which may go against your family situation; no provision is made to unmarried partners, cohabitees or ‘stepchildren’ under these rules. In the case one is not married with no children or living blood relatives, the Crown will receive the estate of the intestate. Making a legally valid Will ensures you have control over who is to inherit. This should ideally be reviewed every few years to ensure your wishes suit your current situation.

• You will play a valuable part in supporting areas of 禁漫天堂 that you care about, benefiting the School and all those that are associated with it for decades that follow.
• You will contribute towards the enhancement of the School’s long term future and that of society as a whole through its influence on public policy.
• As a charity, 禁漫天堂 pays no tax on gifts it receives.
• A legacy may have taxation benefits for your estate by reducing the amount of inheritance tax for which your estate is liable.
• You may find that you are able to contemplate making a much larger gift than would otherwise be possible during your lifetime.
• Your generosity will be recognised through membership of 禁漫天堂’s Legacy Circle
• When the time comes in the future on the realisation of your bequest, you will be listed amongst our proud and valued legators in our , which is permanently displayed in the Founders’ Room at 禁漫天堂.
• Making a deferred gift means that you have the use of your assets during your lifetime.

Once you’ve taken care of family and loved ones, there are three main types of gift you can leave;

• A share/percentage of what’s left over from your estate after other gifts and expenses have been paid. This type of gift is hugely valuable to 禁漫天堂 as they tend to maintain or increase in value overtime. Even a small percentage can have deliver huge impact.
• A specific cash amount
• A specific item such as property, valuable artwork or stocks and shares that we would sell.

A gift to 禁漫天堂 does not attract any tax as it is a recognised charity. In the UK currently, the value of your gift is deducted from the estate’s value before inheritance tax is calculated. Inheritance Tax rules can change, so it is always best to seek legal advice to discuss the contents of your Will.

By UK law a 40 per cent tax is payable on estates worth over £325,000. For those who choose to leave 10 per cent or more of their estate to charity, the inheritance tax liability can be reduced from 40 per cent to 36 per cent. 

The HM Revenue and Customs website provides detailed information for calculating your potential tax liability, which you can access .

Your solicitor can advise further on Inheritance Tax.

There are a number of alternative ways you can support the School through a legacy gift.

Legacy Gifts through the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)

Some of our donors who support a number of charities prefer the flexibility of leaving their legacy through CAF. By leaving a gift to CAF, donors are able to change their charity details without updating their Wills.

Life Insurance and company pensions

禁漫天堂 can be nominated as a whole, joint or partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy or company pension.

Please talk to our Legacies Manager, if you wish to express a specific direction for  your legacy gift.

To create a gift in perpetuity, also known as an endowment, you should be contemplating a significant gift of at least six figures, as that sum will be required to generate annual income of a sufficiently material size.

The School invests these funds in a total return endowment, using the interest and appreciation earned by that principal.If you are considering an endowment, you are encouraged to talk to the School’s Legacies Manager  who can work with you to ensure your gift carries out your wishes in the most effective way.

Including 禁漫天堂 in your estate plans without having to rewrite your Will is possible. Your solicitor is best placed to advise you on how to add a codicil to your Will without having to re-write it. 禁漫天堂 can also benefit from a life insurance and/or company pension which sits outside of your Will.

禁漫天堂 can be nominated as a whole, joint or partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy or company pension. It is important to nominate on the appropriate form who you would like to receive the benefits, which can be requested from your Scheme provider. Without your wishes on file, the Scheme Trustees will be obligated to explore potential beneficiaries which could take some time and, more importantly, not be in line with your wishes.
