Legacy Giving

A bequest to London Legal Support Trust is a wonderful way to leave a legacy that lasts. The effects of your generosity will be felt long after the gift is made.

We recommend that you seek legal advice when creating your will. There may be tax planning opportunities in leaving a charitable legacy.

Consider leaving a gift in your will to London Legal Support Trust. You can bequeath a share of an estate or a fixed sum of money. Once you have decided to give a legacy gift, you will need to provide your Will-writer with our details. Your Will-writer will then include different wording depending on the type of gift you are leaving:

A share of your estate: I give [X%/fraction] of the residue of my real and personal estate to London Legal Support Trust, Charity Number 1101906 of  c/o Hardwicke Building, New Square, Lincoln’s Inn, London, WC2A 3SB, and the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer or the proper officer shall be a complete discharge to my executors.
