Why leave a gift to Weston Hospicecare?

Make it easier on friends and family
A Will makes it easier for your family and friends to ensure your wishes are fulfilled. Without a Will, this process can be difficult, stressful and time-consuming.

Help to minimise inheritance tax
If you’ve got a Will, it can help reduce the amount of inheritance tax that needs to be paid on your estate. Leaving 10% or more of your entire estate can reduce Inheritance Tax payable on your remaining estate from 40% to 36%.

Protect the rights of your partner
If you and your partner aren’t married or in a civil partnership, you don’t have the same automatic rights as those who are married. You can make sure your partner’s looked after by naming them in your Will.
