Donate a gift in your Will, and leave a legacy that will live on.
Gifts and Wills provide a vital source of funding for EASiTEC. Leaving a gift in your Will is a simple yet meaningful way of leaving a lasting gift.
How to leave a gift in your Will
We recommend that you seek the advice of a solicitor to ensure that your wishes are carried out correctly.
If you are writing your Will for the first time, then all you need to do is make your solicitor aware of your plan to leave a gift to EASiTEC.
If you have already written your Will, then you just need to make a simple addition or amendment to your Will. To do this, you just need to provide your solicitor with a completed Codicil Form, which can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
There are several ways to leave a gift:
- A residuary legacy: this is a percentage of what remains of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid.
Example wording: ‘I give to EASiTEC of Room 119, Building LO24, Learning Hub, Institute of Education, University of Reading, London Road, Reading, Berks RG1 5AQ, Company Registration No 8393792, all [or % share] of my residuary estate for its general charitable purposes. I declare that the receipt of the duly Authorised Officer shall be a full and sufficient discharge to my executors.’ - A pecuniary legacy: This is a gift of a fixed sum of money.
