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
