HOW YOU CAN HELP
You can benefit the Trust in one of three ways :
1. By bequeathing a specific sum of money. Since the value of money tends to fall owing to inflation, such a sum should be reviewed from time to time.
2. By making a gift of all or part of the residue of your estate after all other bequests, taxes and expenses have been paid.
3. By making a specific bequest of a piece of your property which could be sold for the benefit of the Trust, or a holding in stocks and shares.
The Shobdon Church Preservation Trust is a registered charity, and its registered address is Belgate House, Shobdon, Leominster Herefordshire HR6 9 NJ.

If you have already made a will, and now want to include the Trust as a beneficiary, you can simply add a CODICIL, which is legally valid, if signed by you, dated and witnessed. Suggested forms of wording for bequests and codicils are given below, but you may think it wise to consult a solicitor to make sure that everything is in order. Further information about the Trust can be obtained from the Secretary or Treasurer at the above address.
