Bequest

Making a gift in your Will to Modbury Hospital Foundation

Including a bequest to Modbury Hospital Foundation in your Will is very simple….when you make a Will, or update your existing one, ask your solicitor to include a bequest to Modbury Hospital Foundation. We advise you to discuss options with your solicitor to see which one is right for you.

What to do if you don’t have a Will

If you haven’t yet made a Will or are not sure about how to include a bequest in your Will, you can speak to any solicitor who offers a Will-writing service.

Your Bequest options

Here are two effective options for including a bequest in your Will.

Both offer you the advantage of ensuring that the real dollar value of your bequest is not eroded by inflation over time in the way that the value of a lump sum bequest might be eroded, maintaining the strength of the bequest and its power to serve the local community.

1. The residue of your estate

After you have looked after your family and friends and any debts, you may choose to leave what remains to the Modbury Hospital Foundation.

This is called a residuary bequest, because it relates to the residue (or remainder) of your estate.

Many people choose this option because it means you look after your loved ones and other commitments first.

2. A percentage of the residue of your estate

An alternative is to give a percentage of the residue of your estate.

These are not the only ways you can make a bequest to Modbury Hospital Foundation. Should you wish to choose an alternative method, please discuss this with your Solicitor.
