REMEMBER THE BRANCH IN YOUR WILL
Legacies
Our branch is very thankful to those people who have remembered us in their Will. For this branch to receive a bequest you must clearly state the beneficiary as the RSPCA ESSEX SOUTH & SOUTHEND BRANCH.
By specifying the RSPCA Essex South & Southend Branch, when writing your will, you can ensure your bequest benefits local animals. There are three ways to do this:
Residuary - A residuary legacy is the gift of the residue of your estate, or a percentage of the residue, after your debts have been settled and any legacies you leave to other people have been paid. If you leave your whole estate as a gift, this is also known as a residuary legacy. Generally, this kind of legacy is of the greatest benefit to the RSPCA Essex South & Southend Branch, as its value increases in line with the value of your estate.
Pecuniary - A specified sum of money, decided when the will or codicil is written, is called a pecuniary legacy.
Specific - When a particular item of value is bequeathed, this is a specific legacy. This includes stocks and shares, the proceeds of a life assurance policy, property, furniture and jewellery.
Please remember to include the full name of the branch in your Will to ensure that your bequest benefits local animals in need.
