Types of gift

There are lots of different ways to include us in your will:

1. A residuary gift — All, or a percentage of, your estate after all other costs, debts and bequests have been deducted. The advantage of this type of giving is that as your assets grow, your gift to Animals Asia keeps pace.

2. A pecuniary gift — A specific sum of money, which stays the same regardless of inflation.

3. A percentage of your estate — A percentage of your estate (1% - 100%) in which a specific share of your estate is allocated to each of your beneficiaries.

4. A specific gift - Such as a house, or shares.

If you are planning to remember Animals Asia in your will, please pass on the following wording to your solicitor:

I give the residue (or a portion of the residue) of my estate to Animals Asia Foundation (registered charity no. 1086903 (England and Wales); company limited by guarantee no.4185603) of Office 17, Mary Seacole Road, The Millfields, Plymouth, PL1 3JY, United Kingdom. for its charitable purposes.

What about inheritance tax?

Any gift made in your will to Animals Asia has the added benefit of being exempt from Inheritance Tax (IHT) and could even reduce the liability for your loved ones if you have a larger estate. We recommend that you speak with your solicitor about inheritance tax.
