Gift in your Will – Sofia Global

- GIFT IN YOUR WILL -

Making a will is important to ensure the proper distribution of goods and also to benefit relatives or friends otherwise excluded from inheritance, but also because the will can become a valuable tool for doing good in other ways. Through making a will, you may in fact also allocate a small portion of the inheritance to support an important cause, such as that which SOFIA continues to carry forward with perseverance and commitment in the poorest countries in the world. In your will, after thinking of your loved ones, you can remember SOFIA. A legacy, however small, will allow us to do great things for many people.

YOUR LEGACY WILL ENABLE US TO DO MORE

The bequests are intended to support projects in developing countries. For example, to build schools or kindergartens, for the construction of health facilities, for HIV/AIDS projects; for the building of youth centres. Any bequest, even the smallest, can make a difference in the lives of many people.

ALL YOU NEED

1. Charity address and
2. Registered charity number

3 STEPS TO MAKE YOUR WILL

DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO INCLUDE IN THE WILL AS GIFT

Decide what type of gift you’d like to leave. Some people leave a specific amount or item, but many people choose a share of their estate, as this type of gift won’t lose its value over time.

PLAN WHAT TO LEAVE TO WHOM

First, think about the family, friends and charities you’d like to remember in your Will. Most people want to care for their loved ones first, but it’s easy to also include a gift to the charities you care about, like SOFIA GLOBAL.

WRITE YOUR WILL

Making a will is simple and can be prepared either by oneself or with the professional advice of a notary/ solicitor. Decide who you’d like for your executors – they’ll be responsible for ensuring your wishes are fulfilled, and are named in your Will.

TYPES OF GIFT YOU CAN LEAVE

A SHARE OF YOUR ESTATE

After you have provided for your loved ones, you can leave a share of what remains to charity.

A CASH GIFT

This is when you leave an exact sum of money to us.

A SPECIFIC GIFT

Over the years we’ve received everything from a stream to antique jewellery.

A GIFT IN TRUST

You can leave a gift for someone to use over a period of time. When the time has ended, the gift can be passed on to other recipients, such as a charity.
