Considering Leaving a Gift to Malvern Theatres?
Leaving a gift in your Will is often simpler than people imagine. There are several ways you can remember Malvern Theatres, depending on your personal circumstances and wishes. Take a look at the frequently asked questions below:
Frequently Asked Questions
I already have a Will. Can I still leave a gift to Malvern Theatres?
Yes. In many cases, you can add a gift to an existing Will through a simple legal document called a codicil. Your solicitor can help you prepare this, or we can provide a template for discussion with your adviser.
What types of gift can I leave?
A Specific Sum of Money (Pecuniary Legacy)
You may choose to leave a fixed amount to Malvern Theatres. Some supporters choose to link the amount to inflation so that the value of their gift is maintained over time.
A Share of Your Estate (Residuary Legacy)
You can leave all or a percentage of your estate after other gifts, costs and liabilities have been settled.
Many supporters choose this option because its value keeps pace with changes in the value of their estate.
A Gift After Loved Ones Have Been Provided For (Reversionary Legacy)
This allows family members or other beneficiaries to benefit during their lifetime, with some or all of the remaining assets passing to Malvern Theatres at a later date.
A Conditional Gift
A conditional gift takes effect only in certain circumstances, such as if other named beneficiaries do not survive you.
A Non-Monetary Gift
You may wish to leave a valuable item such as property, artwork, jewellery, antiques, stocks or shares.
Every legacy is unique, and we are happy to discuss how your gift could support Malvern Theatres in the future.
Why tell us your plans?
While there is absolutely no obligation to inform us of your intentions, many supporters choose to do so because it helps us:
- Plan confidently for the future
- Understand the long-term impact of legacy giving
- Thank supporters during their lifetime
- Recognise their generosity through our Legacy Circle
Any information shared with us will be handled with complete confidentiality.
