Leave a Gift in your Will

Why Consider leaving a gift to Joint Action

In these challenging times, research into Trauma and Orthopaedics has never been more important. Once you have considered your immediate family and friends; please consider leaving a gift to Joint Action. Musculoskeletal problems impact all sectors of society from children to the elderly. Your donations would support the development of UK clinical trials in Trauma and Orthopaedics. Leaving a gift in your Will is a great way for you to make a difference in the future.

What kind of gift can I leave to Joint Action?

There are 3 main types of gift you can leave in your will:

A Residuary Gift

This is a percentage of your estate once any specified gifts have been made to friends and family. This provides supporters with more flexibility when deciding how to ensure that their loved ones are well looked after first and foremost.

A Pecuniary Gift

The gift of a specific sum of money. The value of this type of legacy will decrease over time, however, it is possible to Index-Link the sum of money to preserve its value despite inflation.

A Specific Gift

This type of gift is of a specified item – such as a personal possession, land, buildings or stocks and shares.

I want to amend my will

If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to Joint Action (sometimes called a legacy), there may not be any need to rewrite it.

You can ask a qualified professional such as a solicitor to add an amendment – this is called a codicil. As a general rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new will. 

You can find a solicitor on the Law Society website who can provide details of solicitors in your area.
