However, if you want to be completely sure of the correct wording used to make a legacy, please follow our sample wording and get proper advice from your lawyer.
2. I’m an executor and there’s a bequest to the Findhorn Foundation in the Will. How should I pay the money to you?
Please send a cheque payable to the Findhorn Foundation to: The Findhorn Foundation Fundraising The Park Findhorn Forres IV36 3TZ
3. I’d like to ensure that my legacy is used for a particular purpose. How do I do this?
It is best for us if gifts of any kind are made unconditionally. No one can say for certain what specific appeals we will have in the future, when a Will becomes effective. If there are binding conditions attached to a legacy which we cannot satisfy, the Foundation may not be able to benefit from the legacy.
You can request in your Will that your gift be directed to a specific purpose or appeal. However, it is very important to us that, if at all possible, such requests are stated as a preference and not a condition.
If you have any questions about the gift you wish to make, please contact us at
Alternatively if you are seeking general guidance on leaving a charitable legacy you may find the Remember a Charity website helpful.
