Perhaps you’ve never considered the far-reaching impact of your gifts. Every gift generously donated helps us fulfil the vision that God has given us, and this impact could extend even beyond your lifetime. Leaving a legacy gift could be one way of doing this.
Once you have provided for your family, please do think about leaving a gift, no matter how small, to the work of Emmanuel.
Making a will is an opportunity to help others and express your Christian commitment. It need not be complex or expensive. However, we strongly recommend you go to a Solicitor to do this. Although you will have to pay a fee, you will receive sound professional advice and can be sure that your wishes will be achieved.
When you leave a legacy to us, the amount is subtracted from the gross value of your estate when it is assessed for inheritance tax. This will reduce the amount payable to the Exchequer and allow that money to support the good work of Emmanuel instead.
If you already have a will and would now like to include a gift to ‘Emmanuel Church’, this can be done using a Codicil. A Codicil need not change the terms of your current will, but can simply add a new instruction.
Making a will could cost you nothing when you use “Will Aid”. This is a free will service every year in November with participating Solicitors. You can find out more information at willaid.org.uk. High demand for this service means some solicitors may soon be booked out, so we recommend arranging your November appointment as soon as possible.
