Legacies

Legal BeagleWould you consider leaving a legacy to Dogs Trust in your will?

If you want to leave Dogs Trust a legacy, there are three types you can make.

A pecuniary legacy is the gift of a particular sum of money.

A gift in kind is the gift of a property or a piece of jewellery. But the most valuable kind of legacy to Dogs Trust is a residual legacy – the gift of all (or part) of the value of your estate, after debts, liabilities and other legacies have been paid.

The following suggested wording for a bequest to Dogs Trust may be helpful :-

I give all (or a __% share of) the residue of my estate to Dogs Trust of Ashbourne Road, Finglas, Dublin 11 (CHY 16218), for its general charitable purposes and I direct that the receipt of the Treasurer or duly authorised officer shall be a valid and approprtiate form of discharge.

Dogs Trust is happy to act as executor or co-executor of your Will should you wish. If you would like further details or if you would like to talk to someone about leaving Dogs Trust a legacy please call us on 01 879 1829.
