If you’re looking to make a will or already have a will, please consider giving a gift to All Dogs Matter as part of your legacy. A legacy can save many dogs lives – even just a small gift in your will could transform the life of a dog in our care. Our All Dogs Matter_Leaving a gift in your Will guide shows you the practical steps you need to take to make it happen.
How to leave your legacy
If you would like to leave a gift in your will to our dogs, we recommend you consult a solicitor who can advise on wording to ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you want them to be. We are able to recommend a solicitor who will be able to provide you with independent advice on how to set up a will in order to leave clear instructions about any gifts you may wish to make to All Dogs Matter. We are now able to offer a free will writing service with Osborne’s Law for those who would like to leave a legacy of £5000 or more.
These are the different types of legacy that you can include:
- Pecuniary legacy: a gift of a sum of money
- Residuary legacy: The residue of your estate is everything left over after all debts, testamentary expenses and other types of legacies have been paid.
- Specific legacy: A specific item such as a piece of jewellery, an antique, shares or a property.
You will need to take the following details with you:
All Dogs Matter, 30 Aylmer Parade, N2 0PE
Registered charity number: 1132883
An example of wording you could use:
I leave my / X share (s) of my residuary estate to All Dogs Matter, 30 Aylmer Parade, N2 0PE, registered charity number 1132883, absolutely for its general charitable purposes and I declare that the receipt of the treasurer or other proper officer for the time being shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors.
