Gifts in Wills play a vital role in helping us continue our lifesaving work across the Midlands. Currently, 4 in 10 air ambulance missions are funded by gifts in wills and thousands of people are still alive today thanks to those who have included us in their Will. Whilst there is no obligation for those who use the service to leave us a gift, we hope you may consider remembering us in your Will after taking care of your loved ones. By leaving us a gift of any size today you will be ensuring our helicopters, fleet of emergency vehicles, doctors and advanced paramedics are still available to respond to emergencies in your community for years to come.

Ways to Give

Pecuniary Legacy (Cash Gift)

A pecuniary legacy is a fixed sum of money left to a loved one, organisation or charity in your Will. For example, you may choose to leave £500, £5,000 or any other amount. These gifts are usually paid from the estate before the remaining estate is divided between residuary beneficiaries.

Why choose this type of gift? A cash gift provides certainty, allowing you to specify exactly how much you would like a beneficiary to receive.

Ways to Give

Specific Gift

A specific gift is a particular item that you would like someone to receive. This could be jewellery, a vehicle, artwork, even a property or any other treasured possession. Once again, specific gifts are distributed before the remaining estate is calculated and shared.

Why choose this type of gift? Specific gifts can be a meaningful way to pass on treasured possessions, family heirlooms or items with sentimental value.

Residuary Gift (A Share of Your Estate)

A residuary gift is a percentage share of the value remaining in your estate after any debts, taxes, expenses and other gifts have been paid. You can choose to leave any percentage, from a small share to your entire residuary estate.

Why choose this type of gift? Because a residuary gift is a percentage rather than a fixed amount, it adjusts with changes in the value of your estate over time. This means it can help ensure your loved ones and chosen causes benefit from your estate in the proportions you intended. An added benefit is that leaving 10% or more to charity’s can help reduce the total inheritance tax from 40% to 36%.
