Making a Bequest to Horse Aid

Making a bequest to leave a gift in your will is a generous thing to do and you can be safe in the knowledge that you will make a difference to someone who has given their service during their life.

All gifts, regardless of their size, are gratefully received by Horse Aid.

When writing your will you may consider the various ways to give;

• a set dollar figure
• a percentage of your estate
• residue of your estate after making provision for your family
• a percentage of your assets
• another asset

Will kits are available in many locations across the country or you can talk to your solicitor for advice.
