Types of gifts you can leave

A specific sum

This is a gift of a set amount of money specified by yourself.

A specific bequest

Where you choose to leave a specific item, such as a painting or jewellery, or even your house.

A share of your estate or whatever is left

This is a percentage of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid. These gifts are very important to us as they usually maintain their value or increase over time. This also means you’re less likely to need to amend it in the future.
