Please consider making a little space in your will for your local in-patient hospice after making provision for family or friends.

Why is a gift important to the trust?

The specialist care we are to offer will help many patients facing a life-limiting illness and will give vital support to their families or loved ones.  As a priority we will provide hospice beds, which are currently not provided in south east Lincolnshire. You may already be aware how marvellously supportive in patient hospice care can be and how it's absence can make an already difficult situation more unbearable.

Treatment is free to all patients: however, special care of this kind is very costly.  Through leaving a gift to the Butterfly Hospice Trust in your will you could make a long-term impact on the care and services we provide for our patients, their families and loved ones.

What type of gift can I leave?

Pecuniary Legacy:   this is the gift of a specific sum of money. The beneficiary will receive precisely the sum you specify.  It can, however, be indexed to rise with the cost of living over time.  Your solicitor will advise you precisely how this can be done.

Specific Legacy:  this a specific item or items from your estate, e.g. valuable or property etc.

Residual Legacy: this is a gift from the amount left when:-

  • all the pecuniary legacies and other gifts have been made

  • the expenses of administering the estate have been deducted 

  • and any inheritance tax that is liable has been paid

By making a charitable gift in your will it is even possible to reduce the amount of inheritance tax payable - as all gifts to charity are tax-free.

CHOOSE A SOLICITOR

You could write your own will but it is MUCH better and safer to go to a solicitor and obtain reliable, professional advice. A solicitor will also be able to explain the tax implications of what you would like to do.

Every gift in a will makes a difference whether it is for £5 or £5 million.
