A Will is a unique personal document which enables you to be sure that your
wishes are carried out when you are no longer here. It ensures that those closest
to you are provided for and, should you so wish, that causes that you care about
are supported. Many people use their Will to make a gift to charities. Such
gifts are free of tax and are deducted from your estate before any inheritance
tax is calculated.
If you would like to support Teesdale and Weardale Search and Rescue Team in
this way by leaving a legacy there are different ways of doing so. 1 and 2 below
can be used when writing a Will while 3 can be added to an existing Will. While
the team cannot offer legal advice please contact
the treasurer if you wish to discuss your bequest.
