How to leave a gift | Julia's House

Why should I have a Will?

Many people assume that when they die, everything is passed to their spouse or partner - but this is not always the case. By writing a Will you can have the peace of mind of knowing that your family and friends will be protected.

Making a Will is also a good opportunity to leave a lasting legacy and remember causes that have been important to you throughout your life.

Julia’s House supporters, Richard and Karin, explain why they decided to leave a gift to the charity in their Will.

How to get started

You may have a family solicitor you already use. If not, you could ask a relative or friend to recommend one. Or you can write your Will with our Free Wills Service using one of our local participating solicitors or online.

We have pulled together some Legacy FAQs which will hopefully help with any questions you have about leaving a gift in your Will.

When you leave a gift in your Will to Julia’s House, we promise:

We will respect your privacy

You don’t have to tell us of your decision, although, if you do, we would welcome the opportunity to thank you and tell you about the difference your gift could make.

Family comes first

We understand how important it is that your family and friends are looked after first – but even a small percentage of what’s left over could make a huge difference to the families we care for.

You can change your mind at any time

It’s your decision, and we will always respect your right to change your mind at any time about leaving us a gift. You don’t even need to tell us if you change your mind.

We won’t pressure you into making a decision

We’re here to answer any questions you may have, but will never try to pressure you into making a decision.

We will be open and honest with you at all times

We will answer all your questions fully, openly and honestly. If you wish, we can arrange for you to visit our hospice, so that you can see at first-hand what a difference your gift could make.
