Legacies
“My admiration at the way the JST provides for such striking teamwork between disabled and able-bodied people, changing lives for the better in the process, has lead me to leave the JST a gift in my will. I am incredibly proud to have been involved with this unique charity since 1996 and I want to ensure I continue to support the people that sail with the JST in years to come.”
Peter Snow, JST Vice Patron and supporter
It is our vision that supporters who remember Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST) in their Will help us change the lives of many – creating a legacy that lasts long into the future
We are enormously grateful for every gift we receive – whatever its type or amount. Every person who remembers our work in their Will becomes a part of our future. JST is a small organisation with a huge heart, and an important task to achieve. We have pledged to spend the money that we receive from legacies on enabling people to sail with us. Jubilee Sailing Trust significantly subsidise each voyage and offers additional bursaries for those who need them. This way we can ensure that cost doesn’t prevent anybody from sailing with us.
If you haven’t made a will
Making a will is best done with the guidance of a solicitor and can be inexpensive. Having a will is the only way that you can make provision for family, friends, and causes that are dear to you while ensuring that your wishes will be carried out.
If you have made a will
It is possible to make a change to your will at any time. If you have already made a will and would like to include JST, you can simply add a codicil to your will, on a separate piece of paper, stipulating any amendments you would like to make to your original will. Your solicitor will be able to help you, although you may be able to do this without his/her help. If this is the case we strongly recommend that a copy of the codicil is sent to your solicitor afterwards. You can use the word document Codicil to help you.
Ways to leave a gift in your will
There are three main types of legacy to consider. Find out about all three here, and read the suggested wording for leaving us a legacy.
Residuary legacy: Part, or all, of your estate (after debts, funeral costs and pecuniary gifts are paid)
Pecuniary legacy: A specific sum, which can be index-linked to safeguard its future value
Specific legacy: A particular item to be used or sold by the beneficiary
If you are worried about providing for your family but don’t want to turn your back on your favorite causes, ask your advisor about a reversionary legacy, which allows you to leave assets to a named individual for their lifetime while deciding who should benefit after they have passed away.
If you would like to remember us in your will, here is some suggested wording for your solicitor:
