Leaving a gift in your Will

There are a number of different types of legacies to choose from, but the two most common are known as Residuary Gifts and Pecuniary Gifts.

It’s important that you choose the type of legacy that works best for you and your circumstances, please do take advice on this if you are unsure.

• Residuary

This is a percentage of your estate after all other gifts and expenses have been paid and you have looked after your family and loved ones. Just a small percentage of your estate can transform the future for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

• Pecuniary

This is a gift of a set amount of money from your estate.

We recommend that you speak to a solicitor who will advise you and help with the wording of your gift.

You will need to give your solicitor our registered address and charity numbers and they will do the rest.

Pancreatic Cancer UK, 6th Floor Westminster Tower, 3 Albert Embankment, London, SE1 7SP

A registered charity in England and Wales (No. 1112708) and in Scotland (SC046392).

If you prefer, you can take the following wording to your solicitor. They will make sure your will is valid and that your wishes are followed.
