Your gift can help ensure that future generations can enjoy a world where rhinos roam free in their natural habitat.
Helping rhinos by leaving a gift in your Will
Leaving a gift in your Will to Helping Rhinos is a way of showing your family and friends that you care for rhinos and their precious wild habitat and that want to give them a helping hand, by leaving a lasting gift in your will.
We are incredibly grateful to our friends and supporters who choose to leave a gift for rhinos after you’ve take care of your friends and family. We promise that all gifts are treated sensitively and and will be used to help protect rhino in their natural habitat for generations to come.
It doesn’t have to be a large sum to make a difference.
How to leave a legacy
If you wish to leave a legacy to Helping Rhinos, it is important to decide the type of legacy you wish to leave. This can be a specific legacy, a pecuniary legacy or a residuary bequest.
It is helpful if bequests are made for the general charitable purposes of the charity as this means your gift can be spent where it is most needed at the time it is received.
Types of legacy
- A specific legacy consists of a specific item of personal property.
- A pecuniary legacy consists of a specified sum of money.
- A residuary bequest is the residue of your estate, or a share of the residue, after your debts have been settled and any legacies you leave to other people have been paid.
A residuary bequest is generally of the greatest benefit to our charity as its value increases in line with inflation.
Adding to your existing will
If you have already made your will, a bequest to our charity may be added to it by way of a Codicil.
Helping Rhinos cannot provide legal advice and we strongly advise our supporters interested in leaving a legacy to consult a Solicitor or will writing firm who can advise you and assist in drawing up or amending your Will.
