A legacy to Plantlife will outlive us all

Have you considered remembering Plantlife in your will? It could literally make a world of difference. Bequests have helped to protect so much of our heritage of wild flowers, the joy they bring to thousands of people, and the natural beauty they bring to our surroundings.

Legacies are vital to Plantlife’s work. They help us purchase and manage countryside of outstanding botanical importance, and they support our vital programmes to conserve endangered wild plant species for the benefit of future generations.

But a bequest to Plantlife not only helps the cause of wild plant conservation, it also can reduce your inheritance tax liability. Such a charitable gift will be deducted from the value of your estate before taxation is assessed.

There are a number of ways to leave a gift

Two popular ways are:

either A - Residual legacy

Where the remaining sum goes to Plantlife following the distribution of specific, or pecuniary, bequests.

or B - Pecuniary legacy

A bequest of a specific amount, or a specific item of property
