Support for executors and solicitors

We are extremely grateful for the kind gift that your loved one has left for Sue Ryder’s work. This really is a legacy of kindness and care that will help people long into the future. It will make sure we can be there when it matters most.

What difference will their gift make?

• Gifts in Wills fund over 400,000 hours of care given by Sue Ryder.
• One in six of the people cared for by our palliative services are funded by gifts in Wills.

As soon as you are able to we would be very grateful if you could get in touch with our Legacy Administration Team and they will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.

We are regularly audited to make sure we administer all gifts in accordance with the guidelines and regulations set down by the Charity Commission. This is why we need to ask you for the following information:

• The full name and title of the person who has died, along with any other names they were known by.
• Their last address and any previous addresses – this will also allow us to update all of our systems and potentially prevent any future communications about our work being sent to their address as we know this can be distressing at a difficult time.
• Their date of death.
• Your details as executor along with any other executors listed, including your names and contact details.
• A copy of the Will.
• We would also like to learn more about our kind supporter’s life and their reason for supporting Sue Ryder’s work in this wonderful way.
• When we have been kindly left a share of an estate we will also request a copy of the estate accounts.

The administration of an estate may take some time to complete. If possible, we would be grateful for regular payments once probate has been granted. We can then ensure this very kind gift helps people in our care.

We would be really grateful if you can include:

We are regularly audited to make sure we administer all gifts in accordance with the guidelines set down by the Charity Commission. This is why we sometimes need to ask you to provide details about the estate such as a copy of the Will and estate accounts.

All registered charities benefit from a range of inheritance tax exemptions. This means that the value of a legacy gift to the charity may increase without any costs to any other beneficiary.
