You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art. You can leave a share in, or all of, what’s left of the value of your estate after all bills have been paid and all other legacies have been distributed.
If you already have a will, it’s quick and simple to include a gift to Radar. You won’t need to rewrite your will; a qualified solicitor can draft an amendment (called a codicil) for a minimal cost.
There is suggested wording to amend your will below.
