What type of legacy would best help ActionAid’s work?
Any gift to ActionAid will make a difference to the lives of poor people around the world. Leaving a Residuary Legacy may mean that as inflation rises and your estate increases, inheritance tax is kept to a minimum.
Can I save tax by leaving a legacy to ActionAid
Yes. A gift to ActionAid in your Will doesn’t attract inheritance tax, which may save tax your executors would otherwise have to pay.
Can I leave a legacy to a specific project or type of work?
Yes you can, but the work that most needs our support changes over time. So, your gift is much more flexible and effective if you specify that it can be used where the need is greatest.
