Dear All We are looking at having a Will Week in September. Do any of you have any experience of running one? Did you pay the solicitors? Any pointers would be...
Hi Apologies if this has been discussed before. 'Will' and 'Wills' is often capitalised, but some of my colleagues have been questioning this. Can anyone...

Hi all, I would go without a capital letter as 'will' is not a proper noun (so, strictly speaking, no capital). I think it can end up looking a bit pompous,...
Think I am with Graham on this - its down to taste!
Technically the naysayers are correct - shouldn't be capitalised. But
in practice, I usually end up...
Just to say that September appears to be getting crowded with Will Weeks. Two charity consortia - Remember a Charity and Will Aid - are already planning to...
Hi all - We have had a Legacy Gifts Album at our Hospice for three years now. It records all legacy gifts received, and thanks the Executors too. We always...

Its a figure I must have seen in a dozen presentations - but blowed if I can track down.

It's a shame it didn't record the proportion of...
I was wondering if anyone uses Raiser's Edge for legacy admin, ie to store legacy gifts, pledges, solicitor relationships etc? Currently our legacy gifts are...
Hi Lucy, At Prospect Hospice, we use RE for all of our donor development up to and including legacy gifts. A benefit of RE, apart from its speed and clarity,...
Colin, yes the HMRC sample was relatively small (1,000 estates) but there were clearly satisfied that it was fairly typical, as when they extrapolated the...
sorry, I don't understand, one thousand people left 1.3 million total bequests in one year... what did they die of euphoria?

Richard - I wonder if they died of a sufeit of generosity!! Sorry my post wasn't clear. HMRC analysed 1000 estates to find out where the £££ assets went...
