What is a Bequest?
A bequest is a sum of money or particular items that are given as gifts upon death. Making a bequest in your Will offers you the chance to help others long after you are gone.
Types of Bequests
There are various forms of bequest you may consider, including:
- Residuary – a gift that consists of the remainder of your estate (once family and friends have been provided for and any taxes and charges are settled).
- Percentage – a gift in the form of a specified percentage of your estate.
- Specific – a gift that is a specified amount of money or other items such as property, art or shares.
