A gift in your will

Why leave a gift in your will?

After providing for loved ones, some people choose to leave a gift in their will to a cause they care about. Remembering Fulham Palace in this way helps support the long-term care of its historic spaces and gardens, enabling essential conservation work and keeping the site open and accessible for future generations. Whether large or small, a legacy gift is a meaningful way to help secure our future.

Tax benefits

If your estate is worth more than £325,000, inheritance tax may be charged at 40% on the value above this threshold. The amount of tax payable can vary depending on individual circumstances, so we recommend seeking advice from a solicitor or qualified advisor.

Giving a gift in your will to Fulham Palace Trust could have tax benefits:

• Gifts to charity are exempt from inheritance tax, so leaving a charitable gift in your will may reduce the amount of tax payable on your estate.
• If you leave 10% or more of your net estate to charity, the rate of inheritance tax on the remainder of your estate may be reduced from 40% to 36%.

How to leave a gift in your will

We understand that these are important decisions, ones that you must make in your own time and with your family and solicitor.

If you are making a will, a local solicitor can guide you through the process.

If you would like to update an existing will, your solicitor can advise on how to make sure any changes are legally binding.

Below is the essential information you will need to provide:

• Name: Fulham Palace Trust
• Address: Fulham Palace, Bishop’s Avenue, Fulham, London SW6 6EA
• Charity number: 1140088
