The Church Legacy Service
The Legacy Service from the Church of England enables you to make a difference to the work of the Church of England in your parish and beyond with one simple gift in your Will.
All you have to do is insert one clause into your Will leaving a gift to the Archbishops’ Council, accompanied by a Letter of Wishes indicating how you wish your gift to be divided up between different parts of the Church. For example, you could request that 50% of your gift be given to your local parish church, 10% to your cathedral, 10% to the Church and Community Fund, 10% to your overseas mission link partner, 10% to Send a Cow and 10% to your local hospice.
The advantage of this Legacy Service is that you can change your Letter of Wishes as your wishes change over the years, without having to re-write your Will.
Download this booklet [link to Legacy Service booklet] or request it to be sent to you in the post for free via the Church Legacy Line (08445 870875) to find out more. You can also download and adapt the Letter of Wishes here.
We recommend that you discuss this service with your solicitor. You can also contact us if you have any queries about how it works.
