Leave A Gift In Your Will
The demands on the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability increase every year. We need to make sure that everyone who comes to the hospital can receive the care they deserve. One way you can make this happen is to leave a gift in your will.
Leaving us a gift in your will ensure we can continue to help profoundly disabled people make life-changing transformations; the kinds of transformations that have helped people like Marini, who was completely paralysed, but is now mobile and able to communicate.
Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a will?
It’s easier than you might think, especially if you use a solicitor to make sure it is done properly. Try to avoid ready-made templates found online and in shops - they can lead to expensive problems later on. |

How do I get prepared for the paperwork?
You may find our glossary of terms helpful in preparing for the types of legal terms that are used when making a will. If you have already made a will, but would like to add a gift, you’ll need to complete what’s known as a codicil. Our glossary can help with this too; it explains what a codicil is, and summarises how you can prepare to leave us a gift before asking your solicitor to make it legally binding. |

How much will it cost?
It depends on the complexity of your affairs and wishes, but it’s worth requesting estimates from solicitors before you commit to using their service. |
